Hi everyone,
I am 26 years old and considering a hair transplant (FUT, recommended 2500 grafts by Dr Cooley in Charlotte, NC). I am receding in front hair line and also thinning slighty in crown area, althought the worst is definitely the front third of my head. I wear my hair relatively long so I am able to hide the receding temples pretty well at this point. But when my hair gets wet or is not fixed, it bothers me very much. I wear a hat most days as I am very self-conscious about my hairline appearance.
I have been on Propecia (1mg 3x per week) for about 9 months and rogaine once a day. It has certainly helped stop and thicken slightly. But, of course, this is not going to grow hair in the receeded hairline area. Luckily, I have experienced no side effects. Now, I am considering a transplant.
Does anyone have any experience/advice to offer with regards to the below?
- What is it like to get a transplant in 20s? Pros and cons?
- Should I worry about hair looking patchy in future if I continue to lose hair after transplant?
-Will having to stay on Propecia for the future cause issues longterm?
Thanks! Looking forward to hearing people’s thoughts!
