Greetings everyone. Long time listener, first time caller. I've got a question about my specific type of hair loss and how feasible my plan is for attacking it.
I have a pretty classic NW2/3 hairline, and I recently noticed that there is some generalized thinning all throughout the forelock. The hairline around my temples is getting to be pretty gnarly. The very front is faring okay, but the rear forelock is a bit worse. I'd like to get a transplant to restore the most diffuse thinning areas and strengthen my hairline somewhat conservatively. I'm sure this can be done for my first procedure. My question has more to do with the future and what I should expect from further transplants. I know that the hair in my forelock is going to thin more over the years. I'd like to get ahead of any thinning before it gets too noticeable. My plan is, over the years, as my forelock (and the rest of my hair) shows further signs of thinning, I'll go in and do smaller FUT sessions to restore them, slowly replacing the hairs as they fall out so that the thinning is never too apparent. I'm taking fin and min right now, but I see these as temporary, and I'm assuming they'll eventually stop working. (I'm only taking them right now to stabilize things.)
Is this realistic? If my hair isn't crazy thin and the balding isn't very noticeable (and hence, still somewhat dense), I would imagine that a doctor couldn't be able to or wouldn't do too much for me out of the risk of bad shock loss. Would I have to expect to show some starker signs of balding before I could go back in to get topped off?
I appreciate any insight you all have!
