When you guys say 5-6,000, even 6-8,000, are you estimating to that's what it would take for a full head of hair, with good density all over?
Also, how long should I be on the finasteride prior to surgery?
Of course Nick, you mention being "past the point" of it helping, so is it even really necessary? I don't know that I have a whole lot left to stabilize!
I did talk to a doc's rep who told me maternal family history is a factor, and the men on that side aren't too much further along than I am (yet 20+ years older)... so I don't know if that means that this is about "stable" for me? They all have MPB, but have a wider "horseshoe" like me, and some whispy hair on top... Same with Dad, so does that mean that without HT a NW7 is not really in my future? And if not, I'm guessing that helps with an HT?
Also, hairthere you said the strong forelock is a "blessing and a curse," can you explain? I want to make sure I'm discussing everything I should at my consults.
(yes and no on the consults, I'm just setting up a few Skype consults now with reputable docs from the forum... I made the mistake of visiting Bosley, and after getting a bad vibe, decided to do a lot more research)
Thanks for all your help guys
