Yesterday I went to Dr Vogels office and the funniest thing happen . His receptionist Kelly ( wonderful lady very smart very caring she has that mothering quality that you just love! ) took me to the back to prepare me to see the doc, I told her I was nervous and how I found about him on this forum she said " you were the one that made that post about being to young for a hair transplant " lol it was so funny totally unexpected but I think its great how they are apart of the forum lol

Unfortunately I didn't have enough donor hair and in a battle with mother nature that Dr vogel didn't want any parts of for very good reason ..but there's light at the end of the tunnel. I was prescribed propecia. Ms Kelly had an amazing power point presentation on how propecia is effective I seen the before and after they are amazing . So ill be on those until October when I go back hopefully I will have enough hair to get a Transplant lol

Overall the consultation was nice and very informative

ok guys heres the pics as promised

Why are you only looking at Dr. Vogel if I may ask?

He has good credentials, he's one of the certified surgeons listed on this site, and I've seen some of his work and it looks pretty good . The added bonus is he's not far from me and he's affiliated with John Hopkins

When I say its bad I'm not exaggerating at all lol when I talk to people they always look at my head , when I tell people my age they are in total disbelief I'm just so tired of this and the hats omg I can't wait to trash them I pray to god Dr vogel can help me

Be thankful that was their first response and not "Oh sure we'll do whatever you want!!" 21 is very young and the problem is that if they operate and your hair-loss progresses even more aggressively, as it so often does in young patients, you might end up looking like a freak with an island of hair in the middle of your head. Go see what they have to say, I think that the initial reaction to be reluctant on their part is a very good thing.

I totally agree on her response when I told her my age , its almost like a 12 year old calling to get a boob job lol but my case is very unique I have the head of a 60 year old

I'm gonna upload pics tomorrow , its pretty bad after you guys see how bald I am you all will agree on a transplant lol I don't think ill get any more bald than i am now I've seen my uncles and older cousins theyre all bald the same way I am

I think once they see how advanced you are, they may be willing to take a conservative approach and work on you even at your age. If you were a NW2 at 21, nobody will touch you with a 10 foot pole but since you are so advanced, I think they will.

 

Good Luck

wow your results are AMAZING !! who did your surgery? which method did he or she use?

im like a 4 leaning towards 5... im 4 1/2 lol

First of all Im 21 I am an adult. I called Dr Vogels office I gave them a little info and the lady said Im too young !! She said it could be problematic in the future if I got it at this age, I would totally agree if my hairloss was just starting but my hairloss started when I was 15! I tried everything alot of stuff worked but you know the story, as soon as you stop the hair is gone and im so tired of that. Its not just thin its freaking bald. I offered to send pics but she said they would take pics at office. Im pretty sure they will change their mind once they see my head they will change their mind. Do you agree? what are your thoughts

I'm thinking about going with Dr vogel

Im african american and I havent seen any on this forum. Im getting a hair transplant and I wanted to see if they worked for black guys
