Result looks great. I am not looking to lower my hair line. I am also note opposed to natural recession. I simply want a strong hair line with more density in the frontal third. Maybe a hundred grafts in the crown, maybe.

Sent in an online consultation to Dr. Feriduni today as he would be my top choice. Meeting with Dr. Wesley in NYC next month to see what advice he has. Any recommendations??

Yes. I would be 110% happy with the hair line placement. Would an ethical/top doctor put this hair line on a 22/23 year kid?

Yes I have been taking 1mg Finasteride everyday for 11 months. I believe it has absolutely slowed down my hair loss if not stopped it completely. My only regret is not starting it the day i turned 18. I might not be in this position I am in right now.

I think I can only dream of a hairline like Johhny Depp or Bradley Cooper. Not sure if the best surgeon in the world would able to get me this look.

Guys please some advice!!

Ok guys here we go. Been doing a considerable amount of research on hair restoration for about 1 year (probably too much research for someone my age). This is my situation.... 22 year old male strongly considering a hair transplantation (I know my age is a major turn off for people but please hear me out). Always had a naturally high hairline and even began losing some hair at the age of 17. I always kind of shrugged it off as I was able to style my hair to cover it up pretty good. It wasn't until around my 21st birthday when things started to get bad. It's almost as if one day I looked at my head and said "where did all my hair go?" It hit me like a ton of bricks. I wont get too far into my feelings as we all know the devastation that hair loss can bring. I began using Rogaine foam at about age 18 in hopes that it would stop the progression of my hair loss, don't think it's helped much but it doesn't hurt either, I still use it to this day. I have been on 1mg Finasteride for 11 months now and I believe this has helped me immensely, I also use Nizoral shampoo once daily. I have taken the "Big 3" approach to fight my hair loss. My only regret in fighting against MPB is not getting on Finasteride the day I turned 18 years old as I think this has been the most effective drug for me. Anyways, here is where I am looking for some feedback from the community. My brother, who is 6 years older than me and has a nearly identical hair loss pattern to me, has stopped losing hair. Here is where I see some hope. He has had the same hairline since he was about 23 (turning 29 very soon,) but has NEVER used meds, and has the same amount of hair loss then, as he does now. That's almost 6 years of no hair loss using no medication. It seems his hair loss progression has almost naturally stopped. This is where is see the light at the end of the tunnel for myself. Is it possible that using the "Big 3" and comparing my future hair loss to my brother that I have completely stopped my hair loss. I used to see 40-50 hairs in my hand in the shower every time, now i see maybe 5. I used to see a lot of hair on my pillow in the morning, now I see much less. I truly believe I have significantly slowed down if not completely stopped my hair loss using the Big Three. Here is where I believe I am candidate for an HT. - slowed down if not stopped progression of hair loss - extremely thick donor - don't want to lower the hairline (maybe a few hundred grafts in crown) - I believe I have have reasonable expectations, meaning --> I know I will never have the hair I truly desire, I know I will not have Brad Pitt's hairline - willing to get more than 1 surgery in the future - willing to go somewhat conservative - willing to pay a lot of $$ and travel for top doctor - willing to continue with Finasteride post surgery (I would even like to try something stronger I have seen zero side effects) Here is my best case scenario in my mind. I get a great HT that I am happy with. This first hair transplant keeps me happy for 6 - 8 years while continuing with medication. By the year 2022 or 2023, science has given us great methods for fighting back against hair loss and no more surgeries required. - Is my best case scenario that unreasonable or am I just being too optimistic?? I will attach pictures below. I am strongly considering getting a hair transplant. I have narrowed down my search to a handful of doctors. Please I would love to hear feed back from anyone and everyone!!!(especially Spex). Thanks so much guys, we are in this together.

To anyone who received a hair transplant from ages 25 or younger... Any advice, anything you would do differently, what do you know now that you wish you knew when you got and HT, was it worth it, do you regret it, what would you tell a young person considering? Overall how do you feel about HTs at an early 20's age?

Also, when a doctor is transplanting the hair, do they do this in such a way that will help with future hairs loss. For example, will they put hair in thinning areas to account for native hairs that will most likely fall out?

I have uploaded some pics to my profile, feel free to take a look. Should I base my hair loss progression from my mom or dads side of the family. I feel like making somewhat reliable predictions could be useful in the way I handle hair loss.

Im 23 yr/o male and have been dealing with have been dealing with hair loss for years now. Highly considering getting a transplant done within the next year. A big concern for me though, being so young, is that my hair loss is most likely not complete and still have many years of loss ahead of me. Judging off family history I'm probably in this for the long haul. Knowing that my natural progression of hair loss is not complete, the thought of getting a hair transplant makes me nervous. What are the chances that I continue to lose the native hair after a HT? I would not be opposed to getting a second hair transplant down the road if my first one can buy me 6 or 7 years of time without having to worry about it. Also I have consistently been using the "Big 3" for about a year now. How/when do I know if I have stopped or at least slowed down the natural progression of hair loss? Is it rare for the Big 3 to completely stop one's hair loss? Because i feel that if I get to the point where I know I had stopped my hair loss with the Big 3, I would be 10x more confident about pulling the trigger and getting an HT. I guess it's just the degree of uncertainty of my native hair falling out after an HT and feeling like the HT was a waste of time and money. Any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated.

I also like the work of Diep. But how come he is not IAHRS certified? And why do most say go to Europe for FUE?

Which surgeon's FUE work has impressed you the most? -Also, side question for those who have had an HT? Does the hair actually feel natural throughout, including at the scalp?

May i ask why you plan on only doing FUE? Also which doctor did your FUE procedure?

Also the main reason I would like FUE is because it would then allow me to wear my hair shorter. I only have it a this length in an attempt to cover up bald spots.
