  1. let me fill you in on a little secret - you're going to want to enjoy your hair when you're 48 or 58 as well! my point being you have a limited donor supply, plan for the long haul and now just for now - best of luck to you

     

    Thank you for the advice home1212 , I will be keeping that in mind and see how the doctor responds to my condition and see if he has a plan of attack for the long run. Thank you

  2. Norwood 3v from those pics but could advance. Hair caliber looks thinner so depending on the size of area covered it may be sufficient. Def get on meds if you can and your body allows it under the supervision of a doc. But honestly, be careful. It is not as straightforward as it seems. You do not want to end up a repair patient chasing repairs. Make sure you have everything in writing. If you do not get the right result then the doc should repair at least . Think this through though. Having a virgin scalp may be a blessing. Get multiple opinions by docs. I really hope the doc nails it for you. If you go with it, document well online and show updates. I really hope this goes well for you.

     

    Thank you for response Sean. Hopefully it doesn't advance that much but I will never know. If I base it off of my family I should do good.

     

    I don't want to drop down the hairline or anything crazy I just want to stay where I am but fill in temples and thicken the rest out if I have to go for a second pass in the future I have no problem with that. I deff don't want to be a repair patient at all. This doctor seems ethical and like I said has a lot of positive on this forum.

     

    I have a list of questions that I will be asking when I get there and if I feel like something is off I won't go through with it. Maybe wait alittle longer and search someone else

     

    I will document if I go through with it thank you for your support.

  3. you're still young, unclear if you've tried meds to stabilize your hair loss as it will inevitably be continuous and progressive, with that in mind I'd go very conservative with your frontal restoration, remember you will be chasing or trying to keep up with whatever hairline you chose as you lose existing native hair behind the transplanted grafts. You need to have a "long term plan" for your donor management and not just jump into a HT for the sake of it as you will require future surgeries - please keep that in mind and bring that up with your doctor when you're consulting etc.

     

    I know I'm young, But that is exactly when I want to enjoy having hair lol

     

    I've been doing a lot of research and I've read almost every review on here. I want to start with a good foundation in the front and build a nice hairline exactly where my native hair is now and then work my way back if my hair ends up getting that bad. Which I doubt because no1 in my family is a Norwood 5 or 6.

     

    Dr Nader seems like a good surgeon and does good work for a good price so I think as far as doctor his ability to produce constant good results seems good. All his patient reviews are positive.

     

    Thank you for the feedback

     

    I appreciate it

  4. Tbcruz, would the doc be planting any of those 2000 grafts in zones that have existing native hairs? Esp the weaker zones in the fron? Just be careful of shockloss. Norwood 3? Looks like you should monitor your loss since you are 28 and the loss may be advancing another stage. What density is is the doc placing in your front recipient zone? Did you get a micron test to measure your hair caliber? The thicker the hair, the better coverage may be woth less grafts. The thinner the hair, the more coverage you may need. Best of luck.

     

    Hey grafts will be placed in temples and hairline .

     

    My pics are with my hair at a 2 all the way around. So that is why it looks very see through

     

    My hair is light and fine as well

     

    Here are some pics with my hair longer .

     

    What Norwood would you classify me ?

     

    Thank you

  5. 28 years old - dirty blonde hair - hair loss for about 6 years

     

    I've been doing research on getting a ht for about 2 years. I know the pros and cons of both fue/fut.

     

    I have an appointment on august 4 with Dr Luis Nader to get 2000 grafts (fue) placed on head lol

     

    I think I'm a Norwood 3 but I would appreciate asking for your opinions on that.

     

    Here are some pics thank you :)
