Thank you everyone for taking the time to read my post and to look at my photos. Your opinions definitely help in my research and in my future decision.

For people like me (and like rihanna and tyra banks), who were born with a naturally receded hairline, Hair Transplants will always be the only solution.

Is permanent shock loss something that happens often? Are we talkin ~40% of HT patients experience it, or under 10%?

Thanks for the quick replies. If needed, I will save more money, I just figured for my low expectations of the amount of hair I want to add, it would be pretty cheap. Then again, I guess it would need to be thick patches of hair at the temples. The reason I want the HT now is because I plan on finding my future wife while I'm in my twenties, and I know this will help build confidence to do so. Plus this big forehead of mine has cursed me for years, now I can finally do something about it, which brings a feeling of hope.

Hello all, my name is Dennis, I'm 24, and I just recently found this informative forum. Ive been cursed with having a receded hairline every since I was a child. Simply put, I have always had a huge forehead with receded temples. I really don't think this is hair loss, even a doctor agreed after checking the front hair follicles under a microscope. Also, all of the men in my immediate family (both grand dads, uncles, my dad) have full heads of thick hair. My mom also has a naturally "large" forehead, kinda like Tyra Banks has. At the age of 24, with a good chance that I WONT lose too much hair in the future (even though I know hair loss is unpredictable), would you guys think getting hair implanted into an area that never had hair there before, be a good idea? I would Really appreciate if you guys could take a look at my picture and tell me your rough estimate of how many grafts you think I would need. I don't want a low hairline, just the BARE cheapest minimum amount of grafts to at least cover the temple areas (and to get rid of what the arrows pointing to in picture#2), because anything is better than nothing. I'm only working with around $2,000, is it possible for a very small sized hair transplant, or is it not even worth the recovery time? Also, after looking at my photos, what would you recommend, just the temples or a complete hairline from temples to forehead? Thank you so much for your time guys.
