Hi
I am a 26 year old guy from Norway.
I am wearing a hairpiece. Have been since I was 20 years. I dont know at what point I started loosing hairs, but I would guess around 17-18 and very aggressively. I became very aware of it by the age of 19 and became severly depressed. I wanted to do something about it and started wearing the piece.
I started taking propecia but the doctor told me that I wouldnt get the results that I wanted from it, since my hairloss already had progressed a lot.
I used a lot of toppik and transitioned to the hairpiece without anybody except my family knowing.
I am happy with the visual perspective of the piece, but have been very unhappy about wearing it for the past two years and longing for a permanent results.
I have been on a consultation with a FUE-surgion in my country.
Here are the information he gave me at the meeting:
- He told me I am young and that he cant predict how my hairloss will progress. He told me that I would loose all of the hairs in the areas I am thinning or completely bald and might loose hairs on the sides. He told me that if I am lucky I will end up as NW5a and if unlucky NW6.
- Because of my age and the uncertainty he didnt want to extract a lot of hairs. He told me that after the operation and the hairs have grown out I can expect 40% of the density that I currently have on the sides of my head. He said he can give me some coverage but it will look like a guy who is balding. The density would be approximately 60 hairs per square centimeter.
- He told me my donor areas was somewhat above average.
I got very sad after the consultation because the look of a balding man is the look I escaped right before starting with the piece. It is not an option nor a result I would be happy with.
I was wondering if it could be an option for me to transplant beard hairs to my head in order to achieve a higher density?
I have attached a photo of my beard and would gladly donate all of it.
Links like this gives me great hope:

Does anyone know of a surgion who could do this in Europe?
I have attached photos from last time I was at the hairdresser changing the piece. As you can see the hairs where the piece is glued to the skin is shaved but the hairdensity is good.
