  1. Gojira35, You seem to show a potential 4A pattern, but time and your family history of hair loss will tell. What are your goals? Thanks for sharing.
  2. Bald or buzzed and with and without a choice, you can do it. Your look is good, as long as the skin tone of the scalp doesn't have unnecessary contrast in pigmentation from the sides to the top and the length of the groomed hair is in a uniformed manner. A side profile photo might be helpful to post as well.
  3. The crown is a difficult area to restore, especially if your hair line continues to recede.
  4. Your surgical clinic should be aware of this condition for any possible post-op concerns.
  5. Is that the entire list of doctors being considered for female hairline work?
  6. Extended sun exposure is not a healthy choice for up to 12 months. Stick to your doctor's recommendation.
  7. A Norwood III seems accurate, but you can measure the hairline for a general idea of determining your pattern, and you can have a specialist measure the density on top too. The lesser pigmented hair is less visible in creating the illusion of coverage.
  8. Any thorough examinations over a given amount of time can be very beneficial. Stabilization is very important as is the commitment to medical therapy.
  9. A typical 3000-graft FUT scar can be about thirteen centimeters long and four to six millimeters wide. As no two patients' donor areas and goals are equal, the size of the linear scar can be dependent on density, hair characteristics, and closure method. The reduction of the overall area in the donor region may cause stretch-back to occur well after the FUT grafts have matured.
  10. 5000 sounds good, but also look at the possibility of the crown worsening. Maybe test your beard hair in the crown at some point too. The coverage could yield a great effect but be realistic in expecting to restore everything you had; surgery is meant to create the illusion of coverage. Inquire about the benefits of including hyaluronic acid and platelet-rich plasma during the surgery.
  11. Maybe consider donor recharging with FUE to maximize the value of your scalp hair; replacing scalp hair in the donor area with another source of hair to minimize the appearance of thinning.
  12. Are you noticing any scabs shedding or hair fragments falling?
  13. Dutasteride blocks more pathways of DHT. Minoxidil has worked more effectively when used with finasteride. Photos of shedding could be useful to determine what is happening, especially if you continue to notice shedding and use different treatments in your regimen. Medical therapy takes a commitment. You might want to consider platelet-rich plasma.
  14. Definitely get more than two consultations without committing to surgery. During the process of consultation, you'll learn what would be the most practical options for your unique case. You have many options with medical therapy and other hair loss products. Try not to make surgery the first and only choice. If you must choose to have surgery, be sure to effectively manage your donor resource. At 29, start with a 'less is more' approach with regards to any surgery. Thanks for sharing.
  15. During a consultation, you should provide your family history of hair loss, medical history, and concerns and expectations. With this information, your consultation should enable your awareness about the progressive nature of hair loss. A good FUE surgeon can perform the surgery to yield natural-looking results. A conservative procedure and appropriate density can accomplish a positive change. Research and investigate the results that most please you and compare the details to your case.
  16. A consultation with a third physician can help you decide if your expectations with surgery are reasonable. If you have any crown recession, consider having a very conservative procedure if you must. You seem to be maintaining and stable. Think about how your hair style might change as a result of surgery. Take your time with the consultation process.
  17. Presenting your case to a couple of experts might be beneficial to your future treatment plan.
  18. A scalp exam would be a good idea to better monitor your density in the long term. May you post any photos that may show the progression of your hair loss? Do you know the manufacturer of your dutasteride? Your reaction to the medication may be due to other factors and or positive and negative effects. Have you made any other changes to your regimen?
  19. Gradually tapering the length over a month or two would help prevent the drastic change in appearance. The scalp might also blend in skin tone with less contrast in pigmentation as well.
