Are you still using medication for your hair loss ?

Thanks Chris, but my hair loss stopped 2 to 3 years ago. basically I haven't noticed any differences since then. Do you have any recommendations to find a good surgeon ?

Thanks for your reply, here is the answers to your questions: 1. I'm 30 years old 2. My hair loss almost stopped 2 or 3 years ago, so my hair looks pretty much the same as 2 years ago. 3. I had once a day, but I strongly tend to not using any medications at all.

Thanks for your reply, So are you saying that everyone who wants to do the Hair Transplant surgery MUST use Propecia ? and this is compulsory, otherwise they are NOT a candidate for surgery ?

Dear friends, Recently I've decided to do the HT and I started seeing different surgeons in Australia and sending my hair photos to different surgeons overseas now when I look at these quotes I am getting a bit confused that which way is the best option for me, so I want to share a summary of some of those quotes and my hair pictures with you guys and know your opinions about that as well: I don't want to leave name of the surgeons so you guys could say your opinions regardless of reputation of each doctor: quote 1: Your hair loss look like the Ludwig 2 pattern ( retain frontal hair line with diffuse thinning from front to back ) . This pattern presents also thinning in donor area . For surgery , FUE technique by FIT shaven will be the best option. Because you need a lot of grafts to cover up from front to back . Front and top : 2000 to 2500 grafts .Vertex : 2000 grafts . quote 2: Your balding area will require a large number of grafts maybe at least 7000 grafts in multiple sessions, more or less depending on the donor hair available. If you do FUE for this amount of graft, you will have diffuse thinning hair at the donor site and you might not be happy. Alternative way to do is a combo of FUT and FUE to gain more grafts in one go with less grafts. Example, you can do FUT for 2500 grafts + FUE for 1500 grafts with a total of 4000 in one session. quote 3: As discussed with Dr. ???, you can go for approx. 4000 grafts using combination of scalp (2000), beard(1000) and body hairs (1000). quote 4: You do not have a clearly defined balding area and there is more thinning of hair than balding.Due to this reason you should postpone your procedure to a bit longer. I would request you to send me pictures after 6 months. quote 5: I recommend the FUSS option. We could only treat your F/M with surgery (PRP + medication is for crown). In order to transplant your F/M I estimate that you would require 2000+ follicular unit grafts (approximately 4400+ total hairs). For your awareness, “2000 +” grafts means that we are aiming to obtain more than this figure. Therefore a number between 2000 and 2500 grafts is highly likely. The most strange quote for me was quote number 4, which recommends to wait longer but my hair loss almost stopped since 2 years ago. I also want you know guys that I don't really tend to use any medications nor Minoxidil, I used Propecia for about 1 year 3 years ago but after I found out about its side effects and having frequent urination I stopped using it. Any help or your opinions would be greatly appreciated.
