The same was true for me as a kid, but over the years I've definitely been affected by retrograde (now 26). I think it's a small risk in your case. If you don't get on finasteride, make sure you keep an eye on it.
Sure thing I’m starting topical finasteride first see how that goes

@Dillpickle123 it looks like you may have a bit of retrograde alopecia starting at the nape. It seems to be in the very early stages, but long term it can reduce your donor capacity. +1 to the recommendation for starting finasteride.
The middle of my nape has always been higher then the sides even when I was a kid , if that makes sense but since I get bald fades I barely notice it

Normally the price is 4,50 €/grafts, but if you have had a previous procedure with poor or bad results and you want to repair it, the price will be 5 €.
I think that when he makes reconstructions of the temples points, which by the way is a master doing them, the price will be 5 €.I'm not sure, but I seem to have heard that, for example, if you have already had a frontal surgery and need another procedure for the crown, you may have some discount on the second procedure.
That’s a steal! But I wonder if he’ll operate on anyone in their mid 20s I’m barely a Norwood 2 myself and he booked for awhile too

Hey, so basically what's happened since I made this thread is I had a massive shed (100+ hairs in the shower/blowdrying every morning) that lasted 4-5 months, and it got to the point where I was doubting the legitimacy of the product I was using (Morr-F from ebay). I decided to switch to oral fin prescribed by a doctor, and my shedding seems to have come to a complete halt. I now only shed around 5-30 hairs in the morning. I'm not sure if this was just a cyclical shed or what. I am still using a bit of Morr-F at night in combination with the oral fin. At the moment my hair seems to be in the same state that it was 2 years ago, and so I'm pretty confident that I will be able to maintain with fin for the foreseeable future.
Anyway, my current plan is to go to Mexico this summer for an FUE procedure with the Dr. Cortez brothers at Hair Medical Restoration. They quoted me 1600 grafts to fix up the frontal portion @ $3 CAD per graft all in. I don't really trust the budget clinics here in Canada and the quality ones are way out of my price range. I also don't want to travel all the way to Turkey, and so Mexico is a nice compromise for quality and convenience.If they can fix yours with 1600 grafts then that’s great I posted my thread and ppl here were saying 1800 grafts and my temples are slightly less bad I’ve seen hmr patients on YT get excellent results so I expect you’ll get a great result aswell

Donor area looks good. At this point, no need for a hair transplant. Get on oral finasteride ASAP and switch to topical finasteride if you're having side effects. I use Morr F 5%, which is a topical finasteride/minoxidil combo and it has worked well for me. I wish I had started using it much sooner. Feel free to private message me as well if you'd like.
Thanks, I haven’t much lost any hair per say it’s just gotten miniaturized perhaps the morr F can help it regrow back terminally unless I get very good results I still will probably get a transplant to address the crookedness of the hairline I know hairlines are suppose to be straight but my right side is proabably a inch higher than my left

Works fine for me. I can add it to my shopping cart no problem.
What country are you in?? Maybe the site blocks foreign IP#??
I’m in the US?? Doesn’t allow me to buy it? Is there a way I can bypass that?

Why would you do it yourself when you can buy it for $35 https://www.minoxidilmax.com/topical-finasteride-with-minoxidil-Essengen-6-Plus
Says not available for purchase??

You dont need a prescription for some of these sites. Just click buy.
If I were you though I'd start with topical FIN.
This site sells good quality topical solutions: https://www.minoxidilmax.com/
Is it cheaper than making it myself? Prescription is 30$ a month for a month supply plus topical minox

You may find that being on finasteride may strengthen your hair and improve the growth in the frontal area. That's why it's worth a good trial before doing anything.
Yes I will attempt it topically a guy on YouTube has excellent results with it he had worse hairloss than mine so I will give it a shot

If you take finasteride and stay on it religiously you won't need a hair transplant. All the best!
Will do! I just got a prescription but have been afraid to start it, as for my hair I’ve always had a crooked hairline my right side is quite higher then my left so I would still want to get the transplant to address that but the first step is to stop the hairloss in its tracks

Your hair looks good, if you can preserve the hair you have now into your 30's. I doubt you will even need a hair transplant.
Thanks for the feedback! The hairline isn’t where I would like it though for what I’d like to do with my hair styling wise but I will start first with topical fin, maybe I can regrow my hairline who knows?

Strong donor.. minoxidil won’t do anything for you in the long run on its own as it doesn’t address the underlying issue. You’re still very early, I would try topical fin like you said, start slow and see how you do with it. I think a hair transplant now is out of the question like you said.
if medication could stabilize your hair, you could look into a hair transplant in 3 years minimum.
My plan is to stop it and then get a hair transplant I think 2000 grafts can easily make my hairline better then it ever was before as of right now only the temples have thinning

Hello I’ve been experiencing hairloss for maybe a couple years now, I’ve been trying minoxidil and tretinoin and derma-rolling barely started this month with the derma-rolling 1.5mm, been weary of finasteride but will probably try it topically before I try it orally the thinning in the middle is abnormal since it’s always been thinner since I was younger grey hair grows there so it makes it look a lot thinner it’s something I’ve never been able to figure out? The temples are definitely suffering hairloss. But with hair fibers I can pretty easily still hide my hairloss, I’ve been using minoxidil for maybe two months now so perhaps it looks worse right now because it could be shedding? My age (22) prevents me from trying a hair transplant but I was wondering if my donor looks ok? Any suggestions would help pictures are out of the showing in harsh lighting

Never heard of that, I'll look into it
Helps with absorption, so for topical minox is it suppose to be placed all over the scalp or only where your thinning?? Will it only block dht where you put it? I would assume it’s gonna get into the blood anyways?

Apparently so, I don't trust myself to do that correctly though and I don't see a cost benefit either based on what I paid for foam and fin compared to the topical combo I am on now
Gonna try tretinoin and minoxidil first actually just found out about it gonna try it for a few months

@TommyLucchese - how's the topical Finasteride working for you? Are you using it twice a day? Is it sticky , does it have any residue? Are you using in combination with proscar? I've been on Finasteride for like 10 years, last year saw some shedding which was pretty stable prior to that. Not sure what caused it but might add a topical to the mix. Just not sure how legit it is off the internet.
There’s a YouTuber who did topical finasteride and had great results check him out richie z was his name

Why not just do a consultation with dr rahal then? Because he did the transplant taht you liked and his opinion on how many grafts you need and hairline design may be valuable for when you decide to get it done in turkey
-
What was his pricing per graft? I heard that he does not operate on anyone 30 or younger

i get mine from minoxidilmax but yeah apparently Morr-F from India on ebay is really good too
I heard you can make your own by crushing finasteride and putting it inside minxodil liquid?

Lots of new hairs all over, even within my HT. The "corners" of my hairline are also starting to close up although the hair is not dark and thick right now....not sure if it will ever become that. I don't know if this is due to the meds or since I started dermarolling around the same time.
I might be getting a side effect though - flaky forehead and light red markings over my face and forehead. Regular moisturising gets rid of it but it comes back after a while, even today when I haven't used any topical fin/minox for a week.
Because of working from home I've spent more time in the sun this year than in the last 15 years, and I had noticed some very light flaking over the summer, so it could be related. I do get eczema on my hands so this isn't the first dermatology issue.
I didn't get any redness or flakyness from years on rogaine foam though so perhaps it's a reaction to the liquid?
Either way, I'm happy to keep moisturising (I did so every morning before going to the office anyway) to keep away these symptoms.
I’m thinking of buying topical finasteride only place I can find it is on eBay coming from India though?

2 month update... nothing to really see here. I'm not noticing any new growth from the transplants, I already had some hair growing in the corners from my previous transplant about 6 years ago. Waiting for month 3+ where things start to pick up, just thought I'd give a quick update!
At what age did you get the first transplant? I seem to be following a simailr hairloss pattern as yours but I still have a few hairs left on the hairline
Thoughts on my hair???
