  1. Yes thats an option, depends if you want to go through all that surgery and expense and still wear a hair piece. I've seen many people wear hair pieces that completely expose the hairline and it looks amazing but others that get it wrong. If i was vaibhav27 I would start with med's, minox and fin. Stabilize his loss. Then I would use 2 small recession pieces (you could cut these out of a larger piece and get many pieces which would reduce cost). This is pretty common practice and is easy to achieve. This will slow down your loss which would mean if you then decide you want a HT you mave less hairloss to cover - reducing cost, and hopefully maintaining the donor area. The only downside to this is when you have the HT in those recession areas you wont be able to wear your hair piece as the grafts grow.
  2. You need to do a tonne of research if you go down the HT route. Study the forums, meet with doctors and their patients. Nothing is guarenteed no decent doctor will tell you it is, its surgery after all. The easiest thing to do is wear a hair piece that fills in your recession, no shaving needed and if you dont like it you've lost nothing except a couple hundred dollars. There are options.
  3. Depends, mine cost around $250 and lasts a year so whats the average HT cost $7-8000 at least if you go to a top doc. Plus thats if you only need one transplant most will need more. Plus if you dont like your hair piece then so what no damage done, transplants are surgery. I'm not suggesting he should never have a transplant. But hes on here asking about hair ieices.
  4. Then he needs crap loads of money, no guarentee it will produce the result he wants, wont stop his future loss so will need meds, no guarentee they will work, also could have side effects. he would know about transplants, he's asking about hair pieces.
  5. Thats not I meant but anyway...As far as knowing it was fake well of course loll, so are veneers, fake eyelashes, fake tans etc... The point is what you feel and look like. It made me look so much better and gave me much more confidence....as for others knowing well maybe I'm a little different as I mix my piece in with my existing hair so its virtually impossible that anyone would find out unless I told them so I dont have that concern. I wonder why you put so much weight on what others 'might think'. But like I said find out what best for you.
  6. 3000 in your hairline? really? 3000 grafts should do more than just the hairline. The HT plus hair piece has been discussed before and can work well and eliminates the toughest part of wearing...the hairline, unless you don't expose the hairline of course which makes wearing easier. And getting the right colour/density for the piece behind your natural hair could prove very tricky. Not sure I would really want to spend all that money and have surgery and still wear. But never say never. Hair wearing isn't for everyone, I've been wearing since 2007 and its been an absolute game changer for me, I dread to think what that last 15 years would've been like if I hadn't took the plunge. Maybe one day I'll have a HT I haven't ruled it out, but wearing has become a part of my life I barely think about it. The one thing I've noticed is those who get HT's often continually think about it, how will it turn out, will I have to have more?, are my meds working? etc etc...Some that wear do this also, they become obsessed whether it looks good or not. Each to their own and all that, find out what's best for you.
  7. When I started the big 3 were considered to be - Topical Minoxidil, Finasteride, & Nizoral. I don't often visit hair loss forums like I used to but as far as I can tell it's the same as it was all those years ago. Yes there are still experimental stuff, and people taking variations of the same med's (i.e oral minox instead of topical etc...). And adding things like micro needling. Am I right in this assumption as far as detailed, scientific documented evidence the big 3 from back then are still the big 3?
  8. Blimey that's a lot of work and downtime, you deserve great results, I hope you'll find it all worth it.
  9. Is there any scientific research that states Fin loses its effectiveness? I hear people saying they are losing ground on fin after a certain amount of time but I have never seen any data that shows this is the case.
  10. where were your grafts put in, if its the top which you show how would you know you are getting any results from SP and Trix?
  11. Have you considered triangle shaped pieces to fill in your recession, lots of people do this, just cut them out a larger piece, it would be a cheap easy fix.
  12. Still very risky, especially to the heart, if you take minox orally please get check ups on a regular basis.
