    Terrible eyebrow transplant results. Options?

    doing consults will at least give you options. Different clinics are better at minimising scarring than others, while different parts of the body are more prone to scarring than others too (the scalp is more prone to it because of its elasticity whereas extracting beard hair from the chin is rarely an issue).

     

    I only suggested doing consults as your situation is not that common so its best to understand your options.

    so if you are only left with transplanted hair in the eyebrows, why do you want to remove all of it? wouldnt that leave you with nothing?

    So you think it may be possible to remove the hair without scarring?

     

    Because it looks terrible, i rather have very weak/ no eyebrows than fake ones.

    Plenty of guys have no eyebrows. I just made a shitty mistake that i now have to live with

    I understand.

    ive been looking into something similar for my hair and the issue with electrolysis is if its done badly you can potentially damage the surrounding hairs and remove too much - so it might leave you looking unnatural/patchy

    you could try and extract the grafts but scarring is always a concern. id probably send a few consults to some HT docs asking about it

    but without seeing it id say try plucking is still your best bet - at least you can control how much you want to remove and you have a short term solution

     

    where were the transplanted hairs that were placed in the eyebrows from? were they scalp hairs or other body hairs?

     

    Electrolysis shouldnt damage nearby hairs. Its a very percise tool that penetrates the hair root and burns it. It shouldnt (in theory) affect other hairs.

     

    Regardless i believe most of my native eyebrow is gone because of the transplant. I think because eyebrow hairs are very frail the shock loss just killed them. So im not too worried.

    While i am open to consult HT doctors, what can they offer? Removing the grafts will create FUE scars on the eyebrow which is awful.

    Scalp hair.

     

    Recession or normal hairline? Should i consider a HT?

    This won't be what you're wanting to hear but .. nobody knows.

    You could have the same hairline by the time you're 50 or you could be slick bald. As it stands you're worrying over nothing, just because your hairline moved up a little bit doesn't mean it won't stay there. If you're aggressively thinning/receding in your late teens/early 20s then you can be pretty sure where you're heading but otherwise it's pretty much just a guessing game. If it helps though, I had the same hairline as you at 23, now at 30 the corners have crept slightly inwards/upwards in the past couple of year so now NW2-2.5.

    As for when the "right time" is to get a HT I don't think there is one. Whether you're an NW2 or NW6 you're still going to start with the hairline anyway so why wait until you're bald to start? The only point I see is that a lot of young guys will go for a stupidly low and juvenile hairline(no ethical Dr would perform this) so if they lose a lot of their remaining hair later on they probably won't have the donor to cover the loss.

    Is a NW1 realistic goal for an for a HT? For example go for NW1 at 26-27 and see if it needs up keeping. Or just better to go with something more modest like NW2

    Things seem alright at the moment. I wouldn't jump into anything at this stage unless there is a clear percentage of miniaturization seen on dermoscopy. For this you might need to monitor and see someone who can examine it to monitor the progression if any.

    Can I ask how old you are? You appear quite young and it appears to be a maturing hairline. As all of the above have stated it's fine and you have a hairline to kill for. All the best!

    Even if it were MBP in your case it would be very slow progressing, which is quite normal with age to be passed off as a mature hairline. 

    Revaluate what you see a couple of years down the line and get a HT only when you hit a NW2 minimum. You're barely a NW1. Some docs might even classify you as a NW 0.

    Don't jump on any medication or pills or anything right now. Those are for people with rapid MPB. There's every chance this may stabilize, or has already (like you mentioned). Mine stabilized after 2 years of slow progression. 

    I hope you don't worry about this for now, for I know I went batshit crazy at 23 when I saw my receding hairline. 

    Hello all and thank you for the reply. I am 23. I was just to a well known HT doctor who had canceltion and he said this.

    The temples are going a bit deeper. No other sign of hairloss anywhere (scalp/sides/front hairline) at this point impossible to say if balding or mature hairline. Need to monitor. Currently NW1.5

    He said he didnt need the microscope and checked with naked eyes

    No need to even touch Fin or HT now.

     

    Following this is there a chance once the current hairline deepens the loss will end? That it is simply maturing of the hair? Is it possible this is the start of MPB if only the temples are going in or most likley mature? Thank you

    Don't do anything now. This is just a maturing hairline. I had such a hairline at 23 and only got an HT at 26, when my temples and corners had receded. 

    Naturally, your hairline is going to push back with age. But you absolutely DON'T need an HT atm. Revaluate maybe a couple of years down the line.

    +1 .. what the Captain said 

    Thank you guys.

    How do i know if its a MPB or seemply mature hairline? How long/first signs to appear? Can a doctor decide now?

     

    Is a HT viable at age 25 to become a NW 1 for a while?

    Looks like you are in the very early stages of male pattern baldness. Sorry. But also welcome to the club. 

    In the main board (HT questions) they seem to think im not. However i do agree with you, i think this is the start sadly.

     

    A HT doctor should be able to confirm or is it too early?

    no one can accurately say if you will go bald or not. Your family history seems favorable to non-balding (or at least until later in life). However, you could hypothetically have relatives on both sides of your family who are wolverines, and you could still unluckily get the short stick in hairloss genes and end up with severe baldness. All you can do is monitor your hair closely and respond appropriately. 

    I will say that if you have noticeable thinning at the young age of 23, you can expect further hairloss.

    Thank you.

    According to photos, mature hairline or start of balding?

    It's hard to get a good idea of what it looks like because the picture is so up close. For clarity however, how long ago did you have this done? Did you keep them out of the sun? For standard HTs, we recommend keeping out of the sun for 6 months to optimize healing (and prevent graft damage), as sun exposure is directly related to the healing of skin. If it's early on though, it may work itself out.

    I believe he said 8 months ago...IMHO it does not look infected but if the condition persists or spreads further, see a dermatologist.

    Also, how do you feel regarding the angles of the grafts as they are growing out?

    Hey. I was extremly strict about sun exposure. Never had any until 8 month post op. Any idea what it is? The skin looks pale/sick only there hair was transplanted.

    The skin colouring was there from day 1 and did not change. Do you think a normal dermatologist can understand it without any HT understanding?

     

    I want to post some pictures to hear what you think about the result without me saying anything if its ok
