Got PFS in 2017. 

5 years later i have not fully recovered.

But i dont dwell on it too much. I am able to have sex at least & it no longer affects my life or think about that much. I do wonder will it affect me having children. I produce far less sperm than previously.

I didnt get any other PFS symtoms bar some sleep issues.

Sides happened with me after 2 years. I wasnt anxious at all taking the drug in 2015 i thought PFS was fake tbh.

The drug in general seems dangerous. Sides could happen at any time. I think as a young man it could be very risky in terms of having children. Can reduce your sperm count by quite a lot.

The crazy thing is that Hairloss still worries me more despite having overcome PFS. This is even after my GF not caring about it at all.

I really believe hairloss has such a negative affect on so many men's mental state

I went to Saifi. Skin fades for me are no problem. Some scars but very small.

Very good surgeon. He is the opposite of Turkey.Likes to use as little grafts as possible to prserve for future

it is hard to tell.

But you said you have a thick head of hair. The horseshoe shadow you have looks quite dark.

Makes me think yo have a good donor.

You have 3 options imo  Zarev,Pitella or Eugenix. Maybe H&W too

your donor looks fine.

im not sure really whethre hair loss slows down in your 30's

Doesnt it usually start at that age for most men?

I wore fibers dating. 

After 2 months i said i used fibers. No issue was made about it. 

She even helps me put in the fibers on my crown. 

Crown loss isnt going to be an issue for most woman.

2.5 months vs. 3.5 months, even though it still looks bald, you can see the difference when compared. That’s why it’s so important to document your pictures. Never compare yourself to others progress, just your own. 

you shold get a zero fade around the sides makes the top look thicker.

Progress is looking good. 4-4 months is usually the best

I hear what you're saying. Some people get advanced baldness in a way where everything just slowly keeps thinning rather than increasing bald zones as per NW Scale. In low lighting they can give the illusion of full hair for quite some time.

Billy Joel for example had a 'full' head of hear even at 40 yet still became a NW6

Either way, I think most would agree you need an in person consultation with an expert. One might say there's a trade off to be had on whether you get a fuller crown or better frontal zone but that just speculation.

Meanwhile, it's worth looking at oral minoxidil and PRP, and even laser and ketoconazole shampoo to get you some form of stability as least for now

I have no problem with my frontal third.  Thats been transplanted 

More so crown and future loss 

I started losing hair at 17. 

Was on propecia for 2 years at 25-27 still lost some hair on it but had to stop.

I just grafually lose hair every year. 

Its relatively slow but not isnt stable sadly

How many grafts was your transplant in 2017? Is your goal now to prevent further loss or improve anything?

2700 grafts in frontal third mostly in mid scalp & in crown.

I would like to improve my crown & temporal peaks. But i am unsure whether to proceed atm. Im going to Zarev next year see what he says.

Hairman22,

Okay, I see that you responded to this topic literally as I was writing my response. So you’re basing the advanced hair loss prediction on your family history rather than your current level of hair loss is that correct?

while family history can and should be used as a guide, it is not definite that you were going to advance to the same level as other members of your family that have advanced hair loss. In addition to using family history as a guide, you need to look at your own hair loss pattern.

At 22 years of age, your pattern may not be fully established yet. I think it’s good that you are planning for the worst case scenario. However, because of this, jumping into surgery is not the way to go. Instead, non-surgical solutions would be your best bet right now.

Finasteride and minoxidil in conjunction with one another would be what I would recommend at this time. But be sure to research and be aware of the potential side effects and make an informed decision.

Best wishes,

Rahal Hair Transplant 

Thanks. I am 31. One of my uncles was way worse at my age.

I just cannot take DHT blocking anything. I took it for 2 years no issues until the last 2 months & I then developed mild PFS.

I recovered but im too sensitive to them.

I just want to get a transplant to get my hair better at the crown but Im juts looking for opinions would that be a good idea.

I know my donor isnt the best although it is very short in those photos. But my temples are receded a long time & woukd really like them done too to frame my face better.

My hairline is very good. Not too low

I don’t see you being a Norwood 6/7 at all. Looks more like Norwood 3v at most.

This is where hair length comes into it  

Now im at the early stages but im quite certain i will be a nor 6. Now this is probabky 10 years away at least. 

I will know more after i see Zarev. 

But i have norwood level 6/7 in my mothers side. So im not too optimistic.

trust your gut. go to Vegas if you if you want to spend 10k+ and feel skeptical about the ROI, not surgery. 

Very unsure what to do? Not getting surgery is always an option. 

Being bald isnt an option. Maybe with smp

Hi

As you can see i believe im heading to a nor 6 or maybe even 7.

My donor isnt great either. 

It is short in those pics

I am going to Zarev next year but im not too optimistic

I am just very worried about my diffuse hairlossm. My donor isnt great so im very unsure what to do

I have had 2700 gtafts in the frontal third which worked great.

But i cannot take meds due to sides so im not sure another transplant is actually viable atm

Just looking for sone opinions

think you are a bit harsh on yourself.

You are 47 your hair looks ok imo.

Some concealer for the front. And you could get another transplant for the front

no real point going to bisanga unless you have a very good donor and on meds.

He just constantly looks at the wores case scenario very time.

I get it hair my thin out alot over time.

But better to have good hair while you are young & if it thins out later in life while at least you had a good run.

Everyone knows hair transplant will thin out at least a bit after 5-10 years.

i see no point in propecia it just may delay some more thinning of the donor maybe. But it will stop working anyway after a few years in yor case most likley.

Best to just concentrate mostly on body hair to get a buzz cut

your light colored hair will really help with the contrast

This is probably his best case on his website.

How he got 11,000+ grafts from that donor with retrogade alopecia have no idea

It was staged. The slap looked staged. Wold have been a closed fist of it was real imo

I think your lucky that your donor is good apart from that overharvested section.

You need to go to a good surgeon though

very impressive with a low graft count & the hair is just average

your light coloured hair will help with the coverage.

Looks really good work.

your hairloss seems like it may well follow your dad's.

Yeah i think your good to get a transplant
