blahblah

Hello, 33/M here, first noticed hair loss 10 years ago. Was on Xandrox15 Plus for years until unfortunately it got discontinued. Got on .5mg propecia I think around 3 years ago(still on that dosage, zero sides), compound pharmacist making 15% minox, 5% azelaic acid trying to replicate Lee's formula. Hair was strong NW2 until Xandrox went off the market and has been going downhill ever since. Have been wanting a transplant forever but like a lot of things in my life, I just never pull the trigger on it. Got an awful haircut today (think Janelle Monae) even after showing the idiot a picture of what i was after and I realized I can't take this shit anymore. So tired of the constant concealment of my hair and trying to hide the recession. With haircuts like this, its impossible and I'm tired of living my life like this. Ive been wanting this for so long. Used to come onto hairloss forums a lot but kind of gave that up when it was easy to cover up. I was satisfied since my hair was thick and I covered up any issues along the hairline. Lately though, it seems to be on my mind more and more. It doesn't help that I moved to a humid climate so my hair looks thinner now to begin with and those coverup areas aint looking like they used to. I included some pics. I'm a Nw3 I would say by now. Below are pics. I know its a really shitty haircut, but Im so incredibly tired of having to deal with shitty haircuts when the hair along the sides is not left long enough to cover up the recession. I feel like Im at the point in my life where I want to take action and do things for myself instead of just talking all the time. Keep in mind the flash oddly makes my hair look thicker than it appears under natural light You can see in the pics that those fly-aways are where my hairline used to be circa probably around 2007-2013. Ive got a few questions. I have been interested in Dr Paul Shapiro for FUE. Before I would pay to fly out for a consultation, I would like to know a few things so that I can be better prepared for when I finally do. 1) NW level? 2) I used to care about my temple points, but honestly the older I get the less I care about temple point closure. My goal would really just be to have a hairline again that looks like it is the same density around my forehead. How many grafts would you guys estimate? 3) Unfortunately I get folliculitis breakouts in the back of my head thanks to my old barber not cleaning his equipment. They look like whitehead pimples, usually 2 or 3. Does this ensure that I am not a candidate for HT bec that would be devastating 4) What about hairs at the neck? I would love to get rid of these stupid things and use them at the very frontline of the hairline 5) Do HT doctors in anyway compensate for travel times? 6) I use 15% minox cream as stated above but I am afraid of it being too harsh for my transplanted hair. What do guys on heavier minox dosages do after transplants? I wouldn't mind saying F it and just going back to the 5% liquid 7) Do the doctors provide you with all the necessary aftercare procedures or are there specific ones others follow that aren't described by docs 8) Do HT docs still use Acell in the recovery process at all or was that a wash Im sure I will think of more but for now would love feedback. Thanks guys
