HairyCarey

i think you guys have some of the best hairlines in the game

would like to see more of a zoomed out view of whole face with new hairline, looking towards camera.....so we can see how it looks in conjunction with face. not just close up

looks good

So I tried Finasteride for like 5-6 months. I honestly don't know if it was a mental placebo affect or what, but I felt like I didn't have any life down there, or interest in sexual encounters, although I was still able to pleasure myself, I would not get fully erect.

Anyhow, knowing Finasteride might be off the table. Is it pointless to get a Hair Transplant? I'm 37, I believe my hair will still fall out over time. I dont want my head to look weird in the future, so I'm wondering what to do....

My primary said we could try oral minoxodil instead.....not sure if anyone has any experience with that or if its better / worse than fin.

Thanks

As a general rule, I think it's always a good idea for anyone getting a hair transplant to mentally prepare for eventually needing a second one down the road for exactly the reason you mentioned: Hair loss is progressive and there will likely be future hair loss that you might want to address one day. The difference is whether or not that's enough to deter you from getting one. I think if you're able to accept that as a simple reality of hair restoration, it may help you reframe it in your mind in a way that it doesn't feel so negative. If you don't end up needing a second one, then it's icing on the cake... But it's always important to properly manage expectations. 

I got cold feet just the other day. Had a consultation with Dr Benham, and I got the same feeling you did, about 'feeling like he was the right doctor'. Then his sales guy came in to close the deal and I just got really weird vibes from him. A real slick operator, needy, and he pointed to his hairline and said look how good Benham's work is, and it looked awful. Man, the timing and convenience and price were all there. I was gonna have the procedure on New Years. Was quoted 2k grafts just like you, but I honestly think I have a lot more hairloss / thin hair than you , which was also concerning. So I cancelled.

I've been trying to rush this to have it heal in time for a family members wedding in october, but I think I need to be okay not rushing it. Everytime I look in the mirror I want it now, but its such an important / permanant decision. Maybe I will cancel with Camacho in Bogota Hairlines in march as well, but I need to see...

I also wonder if the confidence lasts for like 10 years or so and then once you start losing more hair and its noticeable that youve had a HT, does that severely affect long term HT users? The only thing preventing me from pulling the trigger on a HT is the feeling like I'm just going to have to do more and more to keep up with future loss. I'm 36 and taking fin btw

As someone who just joined to research more before making this life altering decision. I decided to look up H&W since I heard amazing things. I recently just canceled my Dr Benham procedure because of some of the comments / reviews on this site.

But this work by H&W is not good, and its weird to see so many people praising it. Unless its going to look amazing in like another year, the pictures I've seen of that straight line near his temple just looks so fake how it connects to his hairline. The angle is very strange. Not just that, but they should have kept it natural and more reserved, they brought it too far forward

It's making me question some of the judgement of the commenters
