Im 26 and have been losing my hair in the front hairline area for a couple years. I went to 3 different surgeons in my area, they all said i need 1600-1700 grafts. I checked out Dr. Aronovitz and his nephew James Aronovitz. James is not in the coalition but i preferred James to his uncle. He sat down and talked me through the procedure and answered my long list of questions on the 2nd consult. I felt his uncle kind of skimmed over major details and didnt seem too concerned about patient questions.
Any way, i think i am going to book with James Aronovitz in July. Wondering if anyone out there has had a procedure with him or heard about his work. (he's shown me many pictures, and gave references)
Also, I have some other concerns.
-I have been told that finesteride only really works for the crown, i know some people on here say you should wait a year after taking the medication to let your hair loss stabilize. However, i dont think waiting a year and taking the medication is going to restore my receding hairline. I was prescribed finesteride and may start taking it to help halt any future hair loss but would it be a good decision to proceed with my hairline restoration now? I realize in the future i will probably need another procedure or two.
-Being that i am young and may need another procedure in the future, One of the surgeons suggested against FUE as he said it may thin out the donor area for a future procedure. Also, all the doctors in my area only do FUT, and i've read through some of the pro's and con's of either surgery, and it doesnt bother me to have a scar since i normally wear my hair long.
Any other suggestions or tips? Im kinda nervous, i havent book my date yet, but i need too soon if i want to get it done this year.
Hello, I recently started looking into HT and am considering getting the procedure done. I live in the detroit metro area, so if anyone out there has a recommendation for a dr. please let me know. I visited dr. leonard aronovitz; he said i would need 1700 grafts to restore my receding hair line. I have done some research into the different methods, pro's and con's and recently found some non-surgical procedures which involve injecting growth hormones into the scalp, does anyone have more info on these procedures? are they safe? effective? I am also concerned with the scar that might be left behind after the surgery, the first dr. i had a consult with (aronovitz) said since i was young, 25, i may need another surgery in the future and by doing the FUE it may thin out a potential donor area that might be needed for future surgeries. ANy advice and tips would be helpful. I plan on scoping out a couple more doctors to get a couple different estimates, opinions, etc. thanks
