Thanks for all the replies guys Super helpful

I own the practice so that’s not the issue I’d honestly just be a bit embarrassed to have it be obvious that I had a cosmetic procedure done, but that’s a whole different discussion haha.

I was very worried about fin sides but took the plunge a few months ago. Zero sides thus far. Here’s a question that’s likely to make me look stupid: If my case can be treated with a small to moderate number of grafts, will it be possible to keep most of my current hair long to cosmetically cover the grafted areas during healing? I work in the medical field and am face to face with patients every day and can’t take much time off, so I don’t want to shock people too much or look stupid.

That’s kinda what I was thinking. Since I’m already on fin it should be stable at least and maybe surgery can provide a more balanced appearance? Still open to more opinions

My main goal is to “lower” and flatten the hairline. My impression was that topicals and laser could thicken your hair a bit but that’s about it. Am I wrong about that?

What do you mean by a quick touch up in the context of hair restoration? Seems like the procedure and recovery time is relatively comparable regardless of how advanced your baldness is (within reason) but I’m kinda new here so I’m open to being educated.

Hey all, I’m 32, male, mixed family history of baldness. My hairline is never something I’ve been very proud of and even back in high school it was less than stellar. I think it may have receded somewhat over the years but most men’s hairlines do. It seems to be relatively stable where it’s at, I’ve been on fin for about 4.5 months with no negative side effects. I would like to have a lower hairline but I’ve read that it’s not always a good idea if you’re exhibiting type 1 hair loss. What are your opinions? Should I consider surgery?
