I feel ya man! Its def tough, def is the last thing I wanna think about after dealing with hair loss for 10 years, 3 transplants later and still have thin hair myself. Stumbled on a video about derma rolling every other day with coffee mixed with distilled water. Been doing this for a month and a half and recovered a ton of hair so far. I did rogaine and dermarollibt before and had bad side effects. Have had zero sides with this and coffee is a natual dht blocker and superior then rogain for hair loss so def worth a try

Not wanting to derail this topic but have you got a link to that video please? thanks

DM if needed

Will there be an opportunity to increase the strength of this in future trials and do you anticipate even better results after doses have been optimised?

Thanks for the work on this, incredible 

I've just read this whole thread from start to finish. Congrats on your journey man and what a great in depth write up for everyone.

Lets hope you're going to happier and happier in the next few months, looking at the start to now the transformation has already been huge.

best of luck

A couple of things come to mind.  First, nothing wrong with reinforcing your hairline.  Seems it has receded to a mature position so this will serve you well in the future.  You did mention, however, you are continuing to lose.  (If you've shown the propensity to lose, this will continue in the future).  So the concern, you only work the hairline and down the road you keep receding you'll end up with a strip of hair.  So it is important at the time of the consultation, you discuss blending grafts to the area behind the hairline as well to prevent this issue.  

Second thing to concern yourself with is to stop the loss.  Propecia, Rogaine, PRP and laser are the typical modalities we refer to when dealing with this debilitating condition.  Are you doing any of them?

You keep your hair rather lengthy.  Why are you considering FUE?

This is not going to be a small procedure.  Consider this is right up front where everyone can see what's going on.  It takes many grafts to accomplish density.  (Consider most doctors are under the impression they need to leave a separation in between grafts as grafts compete for blood supply.  So you do a procedure and, a year later, you fill in the gaps to achieve density). There are other doctors, however, with such advance techniques, they are able to achieve density in a single pass.  So, my suggestion is to research photos of patients similar to you and look at photos of results. When you find what you're looking for, schedule a consult.  Are you open to travel?  

Thanks for the response, yes I am open to travelling.

My thought process was that I am happy to get further transplants if needed and also if I was required to shave my head at a future period I would at least have hair at the front to frame my face. That is important. Good advice about blending it into the hair behind as well.

Have you got any personal no shave Dr recommendations to look into?

Thanks

Hi I wanted a bit of advice from the experts on here or from anyone that has gone through a similar procedure.

I am looking for a small transplant at the front to rebuild my hairline which is receeded and thin. I am happy to be conservative with it and it just needs structure to frame my face. 

I.e I'm happy to have a slightly receeded temple look but just need them filled in and the front of my hairline brought down slightly and given a solid start to frame my features.

My loss is progressing albeit very slowly but I would love to enjoy the next few years with a decent hairline and then have further HTs if and when needed.

For job related reasons I intend to go with a no shave procedure.

What are people's recommendations?

Has anyone had a similar procedure and can share feedback?

This topic is the sort of work that I need but rebuilding the temples too.

Thanks for reading and I appreciate any advice

Hi this is an excellent result and allays any fears about non shave procedure. 

Can I ask whether the rest of the loss had stabilised and are you on meds?

What was the cost as well if you don't mind me asking (DM if needed)

Cheers!
