When you reach your 40’s you will care about your hair. I’m 46 and just had a ht and I’m as obsessed with my hair now as when I was 21, now I have hair I’m  trying different styles and products. 😀

I said before my ht “if I can have hair again for a few year It would be great, then when I’m 55 I’ll not be bothered about it if it thins again” .... I no now that’s not going to be true.

Well that's good to hear 🙂 us men are very simple creatures really when you think about it, it's either bodybuilding or a full head of hair or beard,  or all 3 😅.. 

But yeah I guess your right when you put it that way, it would be like having a really nice car and having to downgrade to a bicycle..it wouldn't be easy

Man, I think you have really good hair even in its current state. You don't have a straight hairline, that's a fact, but even with that hairline you look very masculine. If I were you, I would definitely not worry about it, but go out confidently without a hat.

Unfortunately, I almost fell for a cheap marketing ploy by a Turkish clinic a year ago, so they practically made a joke out of me, it looks like a stump. I would like to get it corrected at a good clinic in the future. With hair like yours, I wouldn't even consider translant. Of course this is just a personal opinion, if you do decide to go for the surgery I would recommend a professional clinic, there are many recommended clinics here on the forum. 

I wish you all the best and keep your head up because you have great hair right now!

Thanks for your kind words Raymond 🙂 I've been told the same by a few people close to me but I honestly don't think I will be at peace until I regain a straight hairline, I know some people can wear a shaved head proudly but unfortunately it makes me severely depressed so I will continue researching until I find a clinic I am happy with, I think when I reach my 40's my hair won't bother me as much but I would like to enjoy a youthful looking hairline per say before I reach that age

I am sorry to hear you had a bad experience in Turkey, it seems to be very hit & miss there from what I have seen here on the forums

Again thank you for the kind words, I really hope in the future you too will have the hair you really want 🙏🏻🙂

You will never get your old hairline. Not realistic or a good way to approach surgery. 

Thank you for your abrupt opinion considering I said I know nothing about hair transplants.

What about Dr Jean DEVROYE MD ?

He may be able to see me in the middle of next month due to cancellations.

Any information on this Doctor? 

He will analyse my photos and get back to me with a preliminary estimate for the procedure

Yes that's the hairline I would be aiming to get, that's very similar to the way it used to be, how many grafts would that take I wonder?

Agreed with @Curious25i was also trying to draw a similar hairline position. 👌

I see what he means but I hate the bends in my hairline, I will need it to be straight but yeah I think I am being a bit overly optimistic with the line I drew (probably from looking at the Instagram account of Hair Of Istanbul 😅)

I know it may seem like my recession is minimal in comparison to other people but I used to have a low hairline which I have roughly marked in the photo attached and it is continuing to receed rapidly (clumps of hair falling out all over the top of my head when in the shower) which is why I am feeling so down in myself and beginning to panic.

I do not have a lot of money which makes it even more difficult in terms of my options in Europe as it is more expensive.

Are there any specific known clinics that do not have long waiting lists in Europe where the Doctor performs the procedure himself and do not charge a fortune?

Thank you all for your responses I am looking in to the Doctor's mentioned 

Hello everyone,

I am 27 years of age, from Ireland and I have been suffering from hair loss for the past 9 years.

To say that it has destroyed my self esteem would be putting it lightly and I am becoming increasingly depressed & suicidal. I am at the point now where I need to do something about my hair loss. I am scared of travelling to Turkey as I have seen a lot of horror stories and I think a botched FUE would be the finish of me.

I spend approx. 2 hours everyday fixing my hair with hair sprays and use a towel on my scalp in a circular motion to try and make the hair appear more dense to cover my receeding hairline. It is probably worsening my hairloss but I cannot leave the house unless the recession is covered over. I am really tired of living this way.

I have used minoxidil in the past and I have been taking finasteride for the past 6 month's but I fear it is worsening my mood and I have seen no improvement.

I received a quote from HOI (Hair Of Istanbul) for €4500 last year but I felt rushed by them so it turned me off going to them. I would rather go to somewhere in the UK or Europe later this year (I cannot wait any longer)

I have attached recent photographs of my hairloss (past year)

Any advice & discussion would be greatly appreciated
