  1. Do you have any before op pics? How many consultation meetings did you have before you decided? Did you go to a dermatologist or a clinic?
  2. Wow thanks for all the answers and suggestions, didn't expect this many responses, really appreciated. I am wondering about medication now. My problem isn't losing my current hair as I believe my hair has stopped falling out about 6 months ago since I am now less stressed and I eat very healthy now. I also think Biotin and my DHT blocker shampoo is helping along with going to the gym and cardio. Will propecia regrow hair in the front? I thought this was only for the crown? I believe my hair is regrowing, I took some photos of 6 months ago and I now see growth where I didn't have any 6 months ago. My goal if I don't get a HT is to try to get as much of my hair back as possible. What about laser for this section??
  3. I'm just looking for a full set of hair why wouldn't 1000 make a big difference? I don't like the look of a receding hairline at all and would like as much coverage as I can get.. Yes I know your hairline naturally recedes with age, but the friends I go out with have full sets of hair and I am looking for the same, they are my age. I was told my hair that has already been lost cannot grow back through laser therapy or medication, is this not true? The clinic I went to told me this. If HT isn't the right answer then what is?
  4. I'm new to this but have been reading over this place for a few weeks now and finally decided to take some photos to get some opinions. I went to a hair clinic last week to see what my options are. They recommended HT since my mothers father is bald. However my hairloss is tricky, I'm not 100% sure what it's from. When I was younger I always dyed and bleached my hair and I know i left it on longer than I was suppose to sometimes. I also know I put a lot of it on where my hair loss currently is (the front). With that being said I have noticed a little hair regrowth since I started eating a lot healthier and going to the gym 4 times a week. I also use this shampoo Vichy Dercos Energising Shampoo with Aminexil so I'm not sure if that's helping it or not. I also take Biotin when I can remember. The regrowth isn't much but I think there is some. The hair clinic said I would need 1000 hair grafts and that would cost me $4500, is this an ok price? I know mine isn't that bad and I'm not sure if it's from me screwing up my hair when I was younger or if it's hereditary since it is growing back somewhat. I asked about laser and they instantly ruled that out when I mentioned my grandfather is bald. I attached some photos so you can see. My donor section is fine, it's just my front. My hair is very thick and grows faster than most. I know it's not as bad as some people but I am young (28) and really want a full head of hair so I have no exscuse not to approach women :)
