Thanks for the reply, Coolhair. looking good btw! were your subsequent procedures for additional loss or wanting to add density? who was your Doc? i can try and find most recent longer hair pics.. i haven't started minoxidil yet because of some of the posts i've been seeing about face aging, eye circles and such. any exp with that? i will probably give it a shot.

Hi Everyone, Long time lurker first time poster. I've been to about every site there is and have to say, You Guys Rock! Very good group of informed supportive people. Butt rubbing aside here is some about me: I'm 41 now first noticed changes in my hair around 20 (maturing maybe?) which wasn't hard because i was a long haired rocker and the shower drain doesn't lie. early 20's went to the bigger hair mills of the time: MHR, Bosley, Ziering once he left MHR. Was basically told 600-800 grafts. So glad i didn't do it. when i look back i'm surprised anyone would have suggested a HT at all went on propecia at 23 and have been on ever since. so about 17 years. use nioxin on and off and have tried a good deal of the "pro hair" products on the market. no minox yet my hair maintained pretty well through the years till about 38 and then my hairline really started to bother me. the faux hawk was working pretty well but i didn't like the eroding corners and started clipper shaving my head. that was ok, i have a decent skull, but as of late my one corner is eroding not giving the same outlined look and its consuming me. Im now strongly considering a transplant. I like the results of: Konior, Rahl, Feriduni, Lorenzo and was considering one of them. So that brings me here. Hoping for any opinions,suggestions, advice etc.. Questions: Id say im a norwood 3. sound about right? i like the faux hawk with a tight fade on side and back so def. fue, yes? could a doctor match the density of my surrounding hairline or is that being unrealistic? would most of you say youre happy with your results? Thank you for reading my post and for any info! Here are pics to show where im at. hairline, what id like to fix, bad left corner, top down, crown, right side
