Ok, thankyou all for your honest opinions. I will continue to stick with the Big 3 for a couple of years atleast to hopefully continue maintaining what i have and assess the situation If/When it gets worse, thanks guys for all your help. Cheers.

And also sorry if i have offended anyone or anything, my query was genuine and not looking at getting compliments or anything like that. In my eyes i feel i have receeded a fair way and i realise alot of people on here will be a bit further into the balding process then me, so thankyou for your opinions once again. Cheers.

Thankyou Guys . I will definitely stay on medication no worries about that. I still do plan to attend a meeting with Dr P when im in thailand however and maybe set up a plan for the next couple of years to see what we can come up with. Thanks though guys, thanks alot.

Hey Cautious, Thanks mate. Yeah like i said im not really going to make a move for awhile but i guess you could say ive started to THINK about it and i guess i have realised that at this point this is the only realistic option to have hair (given the right circumstances) I plan to go and meet with the Doctor in December or January for a face to face visit i will be getting alot of Questions ready to ask and plan out a realistic goal IF I DECIDE TO GO THROUGH WITH IT.

LOL, oh how i hear this. Are you planning on getting a HT or have you already had one?? Im going to plan it out over the next year and carefully study where i am and where i want to be. I think i have a pretty realistic goal in not lowering the hairline but just thickening where it is already with the goal of having a Fringe (Bangs as i believe Americans may call them) but yeah seems like at the moment 1500 grafts seems to be the consensus

Thankyou for the reply Forrest and i guess the compliment on my hair . This is all very early stages for me. I must say i have been holding up well with the big 3 so far, my main problem was ive always had a high hairline (Forehead) and have always had a mountain of hair to disguise that. Now that i have started thinning im not looking to massively lower my hairline but more fill in with the NW 2 patter i have to thicken the whole area up. I hope this makes sense to you guys because im pretty lost hahah. Im not rushing into this thats for sure i have told DR. P that i wouldnt not have this operation done for atleast 6 - 12 months as id like to see if my hairloss stabilizes or degenerates further. I guess i was just wanting some honest opinions from people who have more experience then me. So thankyou so much.

Hello everyone, This is my first post here and it is good to be in a place that is filled with such knowledge i hope to get alot out of posting here. My story is basically im turning 25 and im looking to get a HT, or atleast get some informed opinions about weather i would be suitable for one or not. Just to add to this i am currently on Proscar(1.25mg) Minoxidil 5% with Retin-A and also Nizoral. My Hairloss has been so far gradual and im happy i have not progressed TOOO far down the norwood scale. I have had hairloss since i was about 20 i guess. My father is 56 with what i guess could be a NW 4/5ish Pattern, my uncle is a badly gone NW 3V that progressed really bad. I have enclosed some pictures for you to view, i hope they load properly. I guess what i wanted to know is would you think i am a suitable candidate. I am Australian and have been in email communication with Dr. Pathomvanich in Thailand who i believe is a preferred HT doctor on this board, just also to note i am realistic with the results i can achieve i like my hair long and would sacrifice lowering my hairline aslong as i could sport some sort of fringe style. So far i have been told by the Doctor that i would need maybe 2000 grafts along the hairline. I plan to visit him in a couple of months as my Girlfriend is currently in Indonesia so only a hour flight to Thailand. Sorry if this post makes no sense, have been pretty depressed about my hairloss lately and kinda feel like im running out of hope. Thanks guys.
