Hey how did everything turn out?

Are you on fin or minox? I have an upcoming consultation with Dr Vories later this week.

Charlotte, NC. I have a consultation with him next week

Thank you that is all great and helpful information. I also tried minoxidil and it made my hair shed. Everyone in my family has no hair loss or anything. I noticed my hair recession from taking a sports supplement that boosts DHT tremendously for almost a year and a half. One of the case studies I read said the sports supplement boosts DHT up to 60%. Ever since I discontinued the product I haven't had any recession whatsoever. Is it ok to post pictures of my hairline on this forum? Or by pm? Im pretty new to this forum and am not sure of the policies or anything.

Thanks for the reply thisguy1. I did some more research and compared my hairline to others i am more of a norwood 2. I think your right that fue would be the best option for 800-1200 grafts at my age. I have some upcoming consultations. I tried fin but absolutely hated it and was not worth it for me to keep taking. I just use the Nizoral shampoo which I really like. Can I post pictures of one of my consultations where they drew marker on? Maybe it will be easier to see my hairline and hair density?

Yes Hairsgone I understand that it will not prevent future hair loss but sometime they will put grafts on thinning hair to replace it so further recession time is decreased. I am actually more of a norwood 2.5-3. I think fue is my best option because I like to have my hair very short. I saw a lot of Dr. Bisanga work in fue and it seems very good

I am currently weighing my options because I'm a little worry about the fut scar but it seems like fut has better results than fue. I can upload pictures of my hairline with the marker. Looking for any feedback possible! Thanks guys

Hi guys, I recently went to a very highly respected HR surgeon in New York for a consultation. My experience could not have been better everyone was very nice and helpful. I felt comfortable the whole time and didn't feel as if I was being "sold" on something. I was throughly explained the whole process and was asked to take my time and ask any questions that I had had. I was told a certain amount of grafts that would be good for me and drew lines on my temple areas. Toward the end he told me not to hesitate and email him if I had any further questions. I was than emailed my pictures with the lines drawled on

Im new to these forums what does a "shill" mean? Im getting a haircut early next week so I will post front, sides, and back pics to see what you guys think

thanks esrec I really appreciate your view because I feel like you can really relate. As I am finding myself a little less ignorant, I am still going to pursue HT within the next couple months but ultimately want an in person consultation to get the best advice possible and see if I am even a candidate for this procedure. Im sure most doctors will refuse to do strip on me but and moderate size FUE session might be my best option but we will see. I have been searching from hair loss forums to endocrinology and physiological peer reviewed journals. I am scheduling two consultations in the next week to get a professionals opinion

Thanks for your input petchski. As all you guys are helping me out I still think that even if you are a NW2 you are still a candidate for HT. In my opinion, younger guys like myself have equal reason to have the procedure as older guys for many reasons

Thanks for the input guys. I do agree that there is still a little research that i need to do and time I need to put into this decision. The grafts more on the 1000-1200 side rather than 800-1200. Looking at most of the fue compared to fut, it seems the results seem to be more natural looking and dense but I recently saw on here an FUE procedure from H&W that looked really good and was 1236 grafts.

Yes I am familiar with both procedures. From most of the pictures and videos the linear scar in the donor area is barely visible especially if it was only 800-1200 grafts.

Hey guys. I really appreciate all of the advice and input it really is nice to read all of your guys posts. As being on the younger side (mid twenties) and Norwood class II I think the best approach is solving the problem at sooner vs later. I am a very decisive person and have realistic expectations. Romper- why wouldn't you recommend fut for 800-1200 grafts? HTsoon- I do agree with you that some of the before and after pictures can always be a little deceiving

Hi, guys I am looking for advice on starting my journey of having a hair transplant! After doing much research I have came to the conclusion of the doctor I am going to make my consultation with…Dr. Feller. Not to put any other doctor down but I just found from reading other people's experiences and his results that he is the ideal doctor for me. I believe that this surgery will help and improve many aspects of my life. I am a Norwood class II and want to attack hair loss before it gets BAD. Ever since I started using Minoxidil and Nizoral my hair loss has seem to stop or slowed down especially on my temples. I think the Nizoral shampoo has actually made my hair a little bit thicker but that could just be the placebo effect. I was looking to get any where from 800-1200 grafts (Maybe more) via fut strip surgery. I am going to proceed to make my consolation towards december because I will have a lot more free time by then. If anyone can help out or add their input it would be greatly appreciated!!
