Well i listened to you guys and i'm back as a 31 year old and think i'm finally ready to pull the trigger and get a transplant, i first came to these forums when i was about 22 and a Norwood 1, hopped on fin, have been on it ever since...i wasn't as consistent as i should of been with my medication early on which is probably why i'm a Norwood 2-3 now but you live and you learn...Everyone on this forum told me to wait until i was 30, including Dr. Lindsey who I had a consultation with years ago.  I plan to consult with him again in the following weeks and ultimately have decided to have him do the transplant but i'm just trying to get an estimate on cost, so if i want my temples filled in back to a Norwood 1 (nothing crazy, i still prefer a mature hairline), FUE, how many grafts would i be looking at?

i might add i've been on fin for 3 years, started at 22, and am now 25 with no further loss.

I was just curious if any of you know that this has been done because I presume it is entirely possible? I have not come about it in any of my research, in fact it seems much more sensible than dense packing due to the limited number of follicles that have the possibility of being damaged since they completely remain in place. But if you have minor loss in the temple region and you want natural density do any doctors remove a strip, then remove the piece of skin of the now recessed and hairless temples where the loss occurred and then transplant the strip intact. Obviously the angles would be manicured to fit the hairline to give the desired affect? If there is a scar line, FUE is an option. I know many of you would advise against this due to the fact you can’t anticipate the baldness pattern in the future, but I’m just curious if this has been done? All it really is, is a skin graft.

there will never be a cure until the profits are there to make it worth wild for the investors, you should post a pic with your hair pieces in.

notice he didn't show the crown either

look how thick and knotty his hair is, it looks like pubes on his head, anyway expecting the same result is more than optimistic, there's a reason these docs post the absolute best results, to bring in more clients which equals more revenue for them, this is a business like any other, beware of the service being provided and do your research

i'm 25 and i think there's a bald spot developing, been on fin for over 2 years now so hope its effects aren't wearing off.

i never went through a shedding period although i have heard some people have, the medicine takes time so youre just gonna have to wait , when i was at your stage of a month my testicles really ached but that went away after about 2 months

spanker is right, my hairline didn't start to change until i was 22-23

all this site is, is essentially an interest group pointing you in one direction, you pay the doctor who therfore pays THIS site for advertising purposes

this website is a good point of reference, but there's many different people who have interest here obviously you know who i'm talking about, do your research, this isn't the only place you should get your information in regards of a doctor

of getting a ht*

in my humble opinion, i'm 25 with a sciece degree but i think you missed your flight so to speak , of course no one wants to give up, but the consequences at this point could be worse

thanks for your input, like i said earlier i've been on fin for a little over 2 years but my doctor wants to take me off proscar because he said i'm too young and there's no visable signs that i'm losing hair on my crown, plus he advised that long term use on young people has not been greatly studied, should i take his advice or find another doctor who will continue writing me proscar perscriptions? it took me awhile to find a doctor or will wirte proscar i think i've been rejected by 3 of them who said they would only perscribe propecia which obviously is much more expensive?

i think it still looks thin around the temples but overall a great improvement

i thought shock loss only occurs when you transplant hair in thinning areas not completely bald areas such as recessed temples.

i appreciate the input, but if my hairline stayed the same let's say for the next 5 to 10 years and i wanted to get it trated, by these pictures would it be safer in terms of density to go with FUE or strip?

that happens to me all the time, i think it has more to do with alcohol than propecia though in my case. (0bviously im on propecia as well) but sober sex i can get a 99% hard woody, 100% is morning wood which i still get and have been on propecia for 2 years

i appreciate the imput i'll look into his new result

now this one looks like crap and it was his second ht from them

probably like crap, i was just surprised bosley showed an accurate representation of a hair transplant, not like the commercials you see at 4am where a nw6 goes to a nw1 with no signs of thinning at all

that's what i was thinking as well, i mean it doesn't look that bad, but i would do a second pass if it were me

given we don't know what the patient wanted, is this an acceptable transplant, and could the doctors listed here really do that much better?

(video removed by moderator)

can they really replicate density, i'd rather have a high hairline than a hairline with a dense front and really thin temples, which would be where the transplanted hair would go, that's my main concern
