To answer your questions, tofuparty:
- Is this considered normal after 4 years?
Each individual's hair loss is unique. The amount of hair lost in 4 years for one man might take 40 years for another. You can't project one's future hair loss on the experience of someone else.
- How much of a role did stress play in my subsequent hair loss?
Impossible to say exactly. Though I am certain it has advanced the hair loss beyond what it would have been. The last two years I have experience a trifecta of life-changing family issues, major business issues and major legal issues.
- What will it look like in 5-6 years?
Who knows? Stay tuned I am certain it will look better than it would had I not had the procedure. If it looks really bad in 5 years then I can always have another HT. But even if I don't have another I will be grateful for the added years of hair the procedure bought me.
Would I do it all again if I had the chance? Yes! Like I said, with a few shakes of Toppik I can have the appearance of a full head of hair. This is not something I was able to do prior to the procedure as I had lost virtually all of my hairline. I look better now in my 40s than I did in my late 20's when my hairloss was becoming very apparent.
