I looked up retrograde alopecia. I don't think I have this. The sides and back of my head are thick. The only thinning I see is from the bottom of my neck going upwards a little bit (Also that picture is only 6 days after I razor shaved my head entirely, so hairs are still growing). But the safe donor zone appears to be thick. I have sent pictures to Dr. Konior, but don't think they'll respond until after labor day weekend. I'll update you guys on what he says!

I actually have a decent beard! Have transplanted hairs from the beard been successful? Does Dr. Konior do this as well?

First of all, I want to thank you guys so much for being so welcoming and supportive. I am new to this community. But you guys make me feel less alone. It has been a very depressing last 10 years of losing hair. I wanted to give you guys an update on my hair. Those first two pictures were actually from 2 years ago. I recently shaved my head, but I can show you what my hair looks now. I'll update it once it grows out more. Do you guys think I have good donor hair? Do you think I can do 3 hair transplants over my life time? Am I a good hair transplant candidate/patient? Most of you guys are saying to work from the front first, then the crown. Is that a better strategy? The crown bothers me a lot though. I was wondering if I could do crown first and then working upwards. Because of the progression of my hair loss. I'm scared to do the front, and then have a patchy midscalp/crown area. I wouldn't mind a high hairline/big forehead. Me at 17 years old vs me now at 26 years old:

Thank you! I will look up Ray Konior! I am also a short guy (5'5). I feel awkward with a huge bald spot in the crown area. It bothers me the most personally. Maybe not do full coverage at the crown, but enough to make it look normal? And then focus the rest on bringing the temples forward and adding density to the mid-scalp. Fortunately, I am in an occupation that pays well. Money isn't a steering factor! I have tried finasteride two or three different times. I had decreased semen volume and decreased libido. I do not want to give up my sexual life for hair haha. Wish there was a better drug.

For a long time I have been interested in Dr. Diep due to his YouTube collection over the years. However after reading a lot of recent negative reviews about him in this forum, I want to broaden my options. Dr. Hasson seemed like an awesome surgeon, but unfortunately he is in Canada. I cannot leave the states currently. I would love to hear from others on here who they think are really good hair transplant surgeons! My hair loss is progressing to a Norwood 6. I have realistic goals. I don't need to lower my hairline to anything crazy. I just want to have good coverage on my crown area and then work upwards. I understand I may need multiple procedures. I do not take Finasteride due to side effects. The only preventative measures I take are Biotin supplements, iRestore low level laser therapy, and Nioxin shampoo. I tried shaving my head during quarantine and 100% do not want to be bald for the rest of my life. Hair transplant is the way to go for me. I am 26 years old currently, here is a photo of my scalp:
