Hey everyone - been researching these forums for about a year now and finally decided to create my own thread as i need some guidance on how i should proceed with my hairloss. I recently just turned 26, but started noticing by hair-loss at the age of 20. For my age i have lost a lot of hair. I would say im Norwood 5/6 and appear to have an intermediate frontal recession pattern. I do believe i would be an ideal candidate for HT. I reside and in Chicago, and have just emailed Dr.Konior to get his thoughts. I had a consultation with Dr. Nadimi but want to get other doctors opinions as well. I would prefer to go with FUE since i fade out the back and side of my hair when i get a haircut.
I did take finasteride for about 2-3 months stopped because i was experiencing side effects. Since i have lost a significant amount of hair at such a young age, would it be smart to pursue a HT now or wait? I've read that its not smart to get a HT at a young age. Also based off the pictures attached, how many grafts do you guys think i will need to restore my frontal area. Also looking at my case, any particular doctors other than Konior and Nadimi i should be talking to? For me money is not an issue.
