    Hey, could you please share your story? I'm eager to learn how it resolved.

    Maybe the scalp form have changed, idk but I certainly had straight juvenile hairline when I was 16-17 years old. However it's been long time since then. And my body undergone a trasformation that time thanks to puberty hormones. Can't the surgeon just alter the angle of incision depending on the area of the scalp ? Sorry for bad drawing, I observing my head closely I can depict them growing approximatelly with next angles: Can the hair styling alter the hair angle/direction?

    Thanks! Don't worry, I've found a few bad surgeries on them from this forum already. Would you approve Keser, Pekiner, or Resul Yaman? )

    Foof for thought, people grow beards on topical minoxidil which stays after the medicine was discarded.

    This reasoning makes total sense to me. Thank you for such detailed explanation. Between the red line which respects correct FT-angle and current edge is still a big gap of 15 mm remains to cover.

    Maybe it's 2D effect of the photo but frontal corners doesn't have 90 degree vertical. The green line is not my drawing, it's corrected design from ASMED - Dr. Koray Erdogan, Turkey clinic. As I learned they are valued as a respectable clinic on this forum.

    Thanks man! "with the complete recession that he had in the early 2000s" Do you mean he had a HT after 2000s?

    Turquoise is fine. I'm gonna be conservative

    -"no surgery performed anywhere in the world would be able to mimic, let alone appear as natural as your hair is now." Do you mean on a micro level? Like unnatural density or directions? - "The hairline you have drawn is far too low." -"Now, that is not to say you can't have surgery. But you're trying to be too aggressive." I don't plan to lower my hairline which determined by central point, the last living hair at the center(blue cross at the image) or alter the temples. I want to refine frontal corners by lowering them to the same level as my central point(blue cross at the image). Is it still considered aggressive? Also I expect HT to fix asymmetry between left and right sides: -"You have a good head of hair, the pros outweigh the cons" What are the cons if I will be in hands of a great surgeon? -"Most surgeons will not perform hair transplants that would appear juvenile because the likelihood of future balding in your 30s is high. " Why this would happen if I have no history of hairloss in my family past the state I'm right now? -"There is no surgeon on earth that will give you a better hairline that what you already have." I used to have juvenile hairliine in my 17-s like the next guy has: But after puberty period kicked in, my frontal corners receded. This give me appearance I don't like, it enlarges my forehead when looking at profile projection. I just wanna lower my front corners to the central point level to straighten up the hairline when you look at my face from the front. -"I would really encourage you to give both finasteride and minoxidil at least a full year before even thinking of surgery." Can it regrow already minituarized hairs from 16 years ago on front corners? -"If you commit to surgery now you have no idea what the future holds" Can't I rely on my family history? -"Your donor area is DHT resistant but it is not DHT 'proof.'" I can put up with using finasteride for lifetime. -"but one thing you will committing to is a lifetime of surgery to chase that low hairline" Doing it once will be sufficient. I don't want to lower my central point(the last living hair at the center), just straightening the shape by lowering front corners.

    The light one(turquoise) line is what I expect from HT procedure, thumbs up for the design :) I will able to put up with finasteride for lifetime if it won't give me sides or will cost a fortune. I've already started 1mg on alternate days, so far, no side effects. Minoxidil - I would rather ditch if possible, because oral is too risky and topical is inconvenient to use on regular basis. How do think, the area above turquoise line can be regrowthed jsut with PRP + finasterid + minoxidil treatment?

    I know that fin + minox is necessary to avoid further hair loss But does their usage still make sense if you have no history of hairloss in you family past the state you're in right now? -I'm very curious about what one of the clinics told you with regards to fin + minox and the possibility of experiencing hair "regrowth" They didn't say it can regrow, only improve my condition(aka improve hair quality😞 -"Another one said that my hairline is only slightly accentuated, it might not even be operated on. And claimed I can possibly improve my condition by taking oral minoxidil 5mg along with finasteride 1mg. " I wish it could fully regrow. I have a friend with Norwood 6, he's got good results after using mesotherapy. However, no full recover happened for him. On the other hand he never used minoxidil or finsteride. His current state after the course: (not me, don't confuse) Maybe, I'll put a HT on hold and go for medications + PRP, PRL or whatever mesotherapy treatment. Frankly, the whole idea of becoming dependent on medications which have side effects just for aestetics is kinda repellent. I have put too much faith into HT because I thought it can do it once and forget. Subjectively my reasoning seemed solid to me, - I get transplanted a highly resilient to DHT hair follicles, hence I shouldn't worry about them post surjery; - I have no history of hairloss in you family past the state you're in right now;

    Your doctor did an amazing job! Can you still differentiate a native hair from transplanted one? Do they grow in correct direction? Do you still follow any post surgery medication regimen like cialis, minoxidil, finasteride?
  14. iKelia
    Yeah, I'm certain I had it when i was 17 years old. I just want to restore it. I have learned some people called juvenile hairline and it's natural to lose it when you become an adult. However, I don't like the appearance it gives me now. Few people commented i have a way to big forehead because of it. If restoring straight hairline aka. juvenile hairline with HT can't be permanent I wish to learn this beforehand from this forum. I still don't understand why one clinic said it will last at least 15-20 years. Other in unison say minoxidil + finasteride is must have regimen post surgery till the end of life. Aren't they transplant highly resilient to DHT hair follicles which would make using finasteride irrelevant?

    Thanks guys! This a great info. He indeed lowered his hairline. Me on the other hand want to cover the frontal corners without touching my temples. This will not lower the hairline which determined by central point but only lowers the corners to the same level as central point.
