  1. Ok I do understand a lot of people probably look at this and may feel a little insulted that I am here worrying about my hair when in comparison to many others I am barely losing or recessed. But this is not what I am used to and my hairline in the past two years has taken a serious nosedive after looking through pictures. I have been thinking every time I style my hair and I see how recessed it is on my right frontal/temporal region, and I have noticed recently just how much my hair on the left side is now thinning and I can see alot of my scalp as well. So when you mention multiple operations are the norm, may I ask if two to three operations are the norm then? I was quoted by Dr Diep to have about 2100 grafts for my regions of worry.
  2. I have been seeing quite a steady receding of my hairline both frontal and temporal regions since I was about 21. I feel as though I am also thinning in the front somewhat and loosing my density, and I have always had thicker hair and would love to be able to grow my hair out longer and/or cut it short again without having such a significant recess on my hairline. I do not feel as though I am thinning in the crown area, but I have yet to had that properly examined in person. After research I would go more into the area of FUE due to sometimes preferring the shorter haircut and yes I am fully aware that the yield from FUT is much greater, but I went more vain on the choice of the lesser of the two evils. I have spoken to Dr. Diep about 4 years ago very briefly through an email and he quoted me but said a more realistic quote is always in person. So me being in my late twenties is also a risky choice because I have personally seen what happens when someone gets a hair transplant operation done too early and then they NEED to keep going back time and time again to fill in the newly thinning areas. Without further adieu my pictures. (sorry for the sideways pictures I have no idea why they came out like that. Pointers welcome Thank you)
