Recedinggenes

You still have several more months of growth expected.  I wonder where your hair would be at right now if you had the fut procedure instead..

I hear you though, over 10k dumped into your hair with not a whole lot of recession you’d expect great results by now. 

Well I should rephrase that, I’m not leaning towards fut I’m open to the suggestion. 

Because I have thin hair and I can’t handle finasteride I was thinking fue would butcher my head, then I could continue to lose hair and it will just be a real thin donor area. 

Thanks for the replies guys it means a lot. 

Is it worth having one done without finasteride? I’m leaning towards FUT but like others am not pumped about the scar

Well that’s the thing, I tried fin and had the worst sides and still to this day deal with them.  Tried minoxidil and it slowed down my hair loss for a few years then I just gave up on it. 

I suffered the worst ball pain and loss of libido on fin, saw a eurologist and he said to stop the fin and here I am 3 years later with sensitive testicles to where my lady can’t even play with them.  Thats what is holding me back, everyone says get on fin but I can’t....

I like to keep it longer on top and shorter on the sides but not too short

Hey guys and gals. I’ve been really researching the hair transplant field and want your opinions on where I stand with my hair loss and my future going forward.

I would love to have Dr. Gabel perform my transplant, he has really good results and lots of them.  That being said, when should I pull the trigger? I’m 27, and really would love to have hair through my 30s. 

I haven’t contacted him yet but if anyone knows what kind of prices I’m looking at and how many grafts you think I would need would be helpful.  Here are some pictures, the first is from 4 years ago....

opinions please, thanks

Care to share any photos? I’m very curious to how your hair looks now. 

Looks good, hopefully this is your last one

I’ve noticed with Nader his patients almost always have to go back for more density, and that really sucks because I’m interested in having him work on my dome but don’t want to hop on a plane a year later for another round. 

Keep us updated man

Work looks clean.  I’m looking forward to seeing how your journey goes and wish you good luck mate! Happy growing

Read this today, makes me feel hopeful for a full blown cure. 

I still feel like running off and getting a transplant for right now, and have high hopes for a cure in the near future to give me what we all want, a full head of lucious thick hair!

Just curious to what were dr gabels prices for fue?

Do you know what Dr. Gabel charges per graft for fue? 

I know most have seen this success story from Nader, I know it’s just one story but damn I’d kill to have this transplant.

Ive seen good results from Nader, with the price being very affordable compared to the states.  There are a few guys on here who just recently had one done by him I’m curious how they are doing now. 

I’ve been seriously considering him in the next year or two, just haven’t taken the leap and watching my hairloss closely to see if it’s slowing down.

Can/do surgeons map your scalp for hair miniturization to see how much hair you will lose? I’m waiting on my hair to stop or really slow down and was thinking about this. 

Ok, I’ve posted in the past but didn’t have great photos to show you guys so I’m going to try again with more detail and history to get a better idea of when I should go for it.

I turn 27 in a few months, have been receding for about 7 years now, tried finasteride with terrible sides, was on rogaine for 3 years and held onto what I had but still slowly receded. 

My dad is a Norwood 5, who lost all his hair before the age of 30 and his brothers and his dad all have full heads of hair? Weird I know. On my mother’s side, her brothers and father all have full heads of hair.

so here I am wanting to get a ht in the near future but not sure when I should pull the trigger? I’m not sure how much hair I’ll lose in the near future or if my hair is stabilizing? Or if I’d be a good candidate? But I want to do this within the next few yrs. 

please let me know what you guys think, I’m conflicted over here. 

Thanks

Well I guess I’ll have to wait on the future hairloss treatments then, I will not take finasteride again.  

Dont the doctors map your scalp for hair miniaturization? I’ve been losing my hair slowly for 8 years and I’m in the Norwood 3-4 range with a full crown. So I’m hoping it just stops soon lol ughhh I hate this crap

I tried finasteride a few years ago and had terrible sides, I swore to never take the stuff again but I see many people and doctors saying you should take it before and after a transplant.

Im wondering if it’s taking a huge risk and getting one done and exclude finasteride from my hairloss regime.  My hairloss hasn’t stabilized either.

What are your thoughts or experiences?

Hi mate, I'm in the same boat. 26 years old and just gotten a few quotes from surgeons to proceed with my transplant. Deciding which surgeon to choose now.

My big issue is that all of them have recommended I use Finasteride pre and post surgery, as my donor hair is weak and overall hair very thin. They want me to use Finasteride to thicken my donor area for future possible transplants.

I'm very worried about the side effects. How was Minoxidil for you? How did it improve your hair and did you get any side effects? I'm wondering whether I can just use Minoxidil / Rogaine pre and post surgery instead of Finasteride....

Hey ozz, minoxidil worked great for me I’d say when I was consistently using it.  It never really regrew my hair but it definitely maintained what I had without any sides. 

Ill never recommend finasteride to anyone and will never touch the stuff myself.  The sides Were killer for me, and here I am 3 years later still suffering from testicle ache and low libido, I’m 26 I should be at my best down there but I took a risk and it got me.  To prove it wasn’t just “in my head”, I saw two urologist’s with both saying there is inflammation in my testes now and said it’s most likely from the fin and to stay away from it.  Almost costed me my relationship, stay away mate.

So I was on minoxidil for about 3 years, was a pretty good responder and I think my hair stabilized until about 6 months ago I saw it creeping back so I just gave up on it, I’m curious to see how aggressive my hairloss is.

I will say this about finasteride...the shit is poison! I gave it a try, lasted about a month before I started noticing my erections were drastically reduced, it was harder to get going, and worst of all, testicular pain that was so bad I couldn’t sleep. I still today suffer from pain down there, but have gained most of my libido back. 

Thanks for the advice guys...

Ya I buzz it because I didn’t want to be that guy who holds onto his last hair.  I don’t like the look though.

I’m really only receding in the temps, the lighting made the back look funny but I think I’m going to give it another 8-12 months before I make my decision. 

I want to enjoy a full head of hair before my youth runs out, then I don’t care if it goes.  I’ll be keeping an eye on Nader and people who go and have gone to him.

Hi all, I’ve been considering a fue transplant for sometime now and have never asked the pros(you guys) what you think. 

Im 26, started receding at 18/19 yrs old and the only balding person in my family is my dad, he lost most of his on top but his brothers and Dad have full heads of hair.

I’m considering Dr Nader, just not sure if my donor and everything is up to par.

let me know what y’all think, thanks.

Hairs looking great! Were you still losing hair when you went in to get it done or did it stabilize?  

Wow that is some good looking stuff!

Im considering Nader, but not sure my hairloss has stopped.  I’ll be keepin an eye on it and most likely go with Nader 

Amen,

Iam very much considering a transplant in the near future, but have also seen many just, “ok” to “damn they need another one” -so I’m pretty nervous about pulling the trigger not gonna lie.  Any experience and input is appreciated for those in consideration

thx
