Little update. I had online consultation with dr.Sever from Hattingen, he said that is too early to have HT in my case, considering possible future hairloss and decent amount hair at the moment. So I will be in contact with them in the next 1-2 years. Also BHR gave me possible HT estimation with 1200 grafts to repair hairline.

If FUT means more grafts in future, then yes, I am open to FUT option, and will grow my hair long.

I saw your topics, It looks great! .. I am thinking about 1000 grafts for the first procedure. But want clinics that do best hairlines and donor management. I will resize photos for hattingen and send again. Thank you.

Thank you guys for support. At least I want to have consultation with few clinics. I am trying to fill the Hattingen form, but It gives me failed to upload file error, any ideas?

Maybe, but i really want to do It. I want hairline conservative as possible but fuller then now. At this stage I don't like It at all. I want to grow my hair longer and push it back, but with this hairline it's impossible.

No I am not British, I am from Balkan. I have this picture, it's cca 10 months old.

Hi! I am looking for advice about ht. I am 25m, and have been on oral dut and oral min daily for the last 12 months. At least visually i don't see further hairloss progress, but still 50-100 hair while showering. After all, I am pleased with progress, and want to start looking for HT to repair my hairline. I am considering Hattingen clinic, especially their FUT procedure, I am thinking It will give me more grafts if my hairloss progress in the next years. I am probably NW2 now, with thinned hair all over the top. Probably going in NW6 if there is no medication. On picture with pulled hair back, i draw a line where I want to improve density with HT. How many grafts will be needed?

I will continue this medications that is for sure. Thank you once again.

Thank you for support. I don't know how much hair precisely I am losing a day, but it's probably about that number. I had strong covid and problems with back in the last month, that maybe speed up or induce TE.

I actually think that I have more hair now than i what i had 8 months ago, but I am scared of losing gains , problem is that I had buzzcut for the last 7 months so I couldn't really see hair fall, that is why this scares me a lot.

Hi!, I am 24M and been taking oral dutasteride 0.5mg & oral minoxidil 2.5mg daily for the last 8 months. When I am showering or rubbing my hair I can still see a lot of miniature hairs that are falling out ( Probably about 50-100 a day). Could it be the hair cycle?, or weak hairs falling out so another can grow?. I have very booked dermatologist so it's hard to contact her, what should I do?

Do you think taking propecia or avodart can affect your body hair, like chest or beard hair? If you are in your early 20s probably you are not fully developed with hairs, can taking this drugs affect your growth? Thank you.

I'm sorry, but I really think you should seek the help of a psychiatrist, it's no shame, and I'm going too because I know I'm sick and not just balding. There are hundreds of millions of bald people in the world, I think a lot of them live happy and healthy lives. I am not against HT, medications, SMP but a person should take it consciously and with a cool head, or they will probably regret It and bury yourself even deeper. I am just hoping you are not a TROLL.

Yes, but who do you think is more attractive to womens, jeff bezos in his 20s WITH hair, and today jeff bezos? In the worst scenario it's the same. For Elon Musk, you know he was already millionaire in the left picture? He was successful and have good looking lady with receding hair.

Absolutely, but be honest, how often you see bald men on street and think "poor guy, hair loss made him ugly", if you are fit and care about your skin, lack of hair would not make you unattractive. Good-looking guy would look good with or without hair. You have ugly nose?, make rhinoplasty, weak chin?, do chin implants etc. But the sooner you accept your body, it will be easier for you. Just look at Jeff Bezos in his 20s, he was a below average guy with or without hair, but he was at some point the richest and most successful man on the planet!!

Understand, But I would rather be thinner on top then have hairline 15cm from eyebrows

Yes, like Melvin said, it's just buying you time. It all depends how much you are mentally strong and prepared.

That is It, answer for what I was looking for. Thank you very much. Sadly very little surgeon would give you this kind of explanation.

Yes, but how can you know your donor characteristics after 10 years? If you don't have DUPA now, who can guarantees you will not have it for 5-10y?

I will continue using dut and min, I want to see progress in next 6-12 month. Just for comparison, I am suffering from 24/7 ringing in my ears (tinnitus), If there ever be medication to stop ringing while you are using it, I would definitely use it all my life.

You are right, but hair loss does not threaten your life. Unfortunately many people especially young can't afford professional and ethical surgeon and will desperately go for low budget HT, we have hundreds of testimonies. I would advise that 1. line of defense would be seek for psychological help.

Yes, but it's not just time and money, It is your mental health. I hate I am balding, and probably 99.9% especially young people who are losing hair too. But I can't image if I went down HT road and constantly trying to catch hair loss, It would be such of waste of time. I would advise any young men like me to consult with psychotherapist first.

Hair4Days, that is exactly what I was thinking!! It's like holding the building from falling with a wooden plank, it's temporary solution. Doing HT in 20s with having relatives with high NW is really lottery. Yes you can take a risk and hoping for better medication in the future, hair cloning etc. but depend on It for me It would be devastating, thinking every day what will happen. As an example it's 2010, and you are 26, you were on medication for 1y before and "halt" hair-loss, some hair clinics did HT on you. In 2011 you have great piece of hair, you are still taking propecia but in 2021 you have to stop because of sides or some other health problems, and you are here now in 2022 you still don't have any miracle cure, you lost half of density you have just year before, you are 38 and looking like a clown. All I want to say from my amateur perspective that is better to have consultation in person with best for high NW cases to examine your hair properly and approximately gives what you can expect in the future, I know he is not Nostradamus, but I would rather spend 2000 euros on best scalp examination than on risky HT in Turkey.

Exactly, for those who will have receding hairline with no sign on crown loss by 40s it's the same, 99% they will have good results with good surgeon. I think we have to weight pros and cons. If someone start with dht blocking med. on very early sign of hair loss and want to maintain good hair it's reasonably.

I have one question. If your genetics predisposed you to the nw7 pattern of hair loss in the early 20s, what is the point of taking medication, especially fin and dut if you lose hair that you still have because of those? Maybe I am wrong, but isn't success of HT mainly depends of your pattern, donor quality (density, thickness) if you have DUPA, Retrograde etc... I am asking this because I am in this situation, I am diffuse thinning to nw7, you can see the difference between hair that is not affected by DHT and not, I still have a lot of hair remaining but If they stay there for the next few years it will be because medication. I understand that even when someone in 50s are advised to take med. but what is the point of taking It in the 20s hoping to be a good candidate for HT in let say 30s if native hair between transplanted will be gone if you end with med.
