How many grafts do i need?
thatoldchestnut replied to hairfix's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
To me personally, it's still difficult to see exactly what you mean. To me it just looks like you have a normal hairline with zero recession. Maybe the pics are not doing it justice. -
Personally I think your goals are borderline absurd and that you're destined to be met with a result that is unlikely to meet your expectations; not to mention the fact that if you are indeed balding (and I concur with the others here who suggest you almost certainly are) you'll effectively be committing follicular harikiri. Take your time, get authoritative analysis done by an expert to determine if you have MPB. If you are still dead-set on a HT, I would suggest a fin/minox regime first and then assess whether your're stable. Discuss expectations with the surgeon in question (I'm betting no surgeon is going to do what you appear to want done) and determine whether you're likely to be satisfied with a more realistic outcome. There is no rush.

Spanker 4 years 3 Months Dr. Konior
thatoldchestnut replied to Spanker's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
You had most factors on your side (particularly Dr. K!) going in, that said, it looks incredible and it's great to see that the result is holding up so well. Really speaks to the benefits of being committed to meds if you're contemplating a transplant. Enjoy that mop sir! -
Isn't this Matt that posts here? Kinda looks like him. Nice work, regardless.

That's just your subjective opinion of hairline aesthetics though. The work looks exemplary, as it so often does from this clinic. Personally, I don't see a huge problem with increasing the density in the hairline and touching up the temple points, doesn't seem like the hairline has been lowered much at all. I think the hairstyle accentuates the impression. Tbh, it would be nicer to see post-op pics that expose it, though I understand the patient has sent these.

Agreed Ernie, one of the best results posted by this clinic in quite some time.

Taking Finasteride unnecessarily?
thatoldchestnut replied to redchickenleg's topic in Hair Loss Drugs
Hi Redchicken, I wouldn't worry about finasteride damaging your hair. Most of the stories posted online about this occurring are anecdotal and are more likely to be cases in which the drug was ineffective at the hairline. I would surmise that the patient has seen the continuation of the hair loss that was likely to occur irrespective of their taking finasteride. It is unlikely to miraculously restore a thinning hairline to its former glory but could still have a distinctly positive effect. I had a pretty decent anterior response to fin/min (which you can view via my profile if interested) and am happy i took the decision to begin taking it, even though (as you describe) i only had mild thinning/recession. Personally I didn't notice much of a shed initially but am confident it has thickened my hair throughout the scalp and even had an impact at the hairline. Best of luck whatever you decide! -
I'd say both temples have receded somewhat and there may be a little frontal hairline thinning. Starting treatment could definitely be a good option for you. However, you still have what appears to be a good head of hair by and large. Just my opinion and I don't claim to know authoritatively!

Were you nw3 when you started finasteride Ernie?

Wayne Rooney
thatoldchestnut replied to Wwiizzkkiidd24's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I feel sorry for him in the same way I feel sorry for anyone who loses their hair. Because he's rich we shouldn't sympathise? :rolleyes: All the money in the world won't reverse a genetic predisposition. -
Wayne Rooney
thatoldchestnut replied to Wwiizzkkiidd24's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Personally I don't think he's had any work done, he just has dense hair and only minor frontal loss (though anyone who knows anything about hair loss can clearly see he's receding) such that with a top-knot he can cover his balding crown. Here's a pic from yesterday v Slovakia when his knot slipped into a ponytail. Feel sorry for the lad, but i dare say he'll address it in the coming years. -
Wayne Rooney
thatoldchestnut replied to Wwiizzkkiidd24's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
You're entitled to your opinion about Rooney, but Bale is balding, guaranteed. Why I would have any vested interest in claiming that, or wish it on him? Simply pointing out the obvious. Would guess he'll address it in the coming years. -
Wayne Rooney
thatoldchestnut replied to Wwiizzkkiidd24's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Gareth Bale is ugly and balding himself. Ever wondered why he has a top-knot and long hair? Balding 100%, his knot slipped into a ponytail and you could see his crown was thin as hell. He's been hiding it for a while. Also, Rooney in his prime was every bit as good as Bale is now, probably better tbh. -
Fantastic final result Astaldo; do you think you'll go back for the 800 extra you mention or keep them in reserve? Tremendous outcome, either way!

I am no expert and the actual numbers are best left to those qualified to make an assessment but i'd suggest that you'll be looking at significantly more than 1500 grafts to fill the area marked. Probably closer to 2.5k (and possibly more), imo.
