@1978matt Was recommended to follow your threads.  Can you find one that would be relatable to my situation?  Starting point and current look?  Appreciate it. 

I am relatively new to the thought of a possible transplant.  Many of the posts I see have to do with restoring a hairline.  My hairline has been receding since 19 years old (49 now) and so I'm used to a receding hairline.  That said, it has started to recede again recently after being stagnant for many years and I don't want to be completely bald.  I'm also seeing thinning on top that I hadn't seen until the last 2 years.  I've been on Propecia and Rogaine for many years now.  Given the amount of hair loss I've experienced, (and the fact that I likely will always keep my hair as short as it is in the pictures), am I a candidate for a HT?  Any recommendations for a surgeon with experience similar to my scale (I think 4a)?  I've been researching different surgeons but don't see that there is a true expertise in specific types of Norwood scales.  Would either the FUT scar or FUE holes be visible with keeping a haircut this short?  My donor area in back seems thick, although sides of my head are thin.  Do most people with a transplant grow hair longer to help cover up any residual evidence of the HT?  Sorry for all of the questions but this seems like a very knowledgeable group who can enlighten me.  Any advise or recommendations you can provide will be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
