Thank you all for your input. Much to consider but I certainly believe I’ll be holding off the transplant for now. I’ll just rock the shaved head for now!
I have not been on any medical therapy but would begin after the surgery. I imagine if the grafts transplanted are thin, hopping on finasteride afterward would help strengthen the transplanted grafts?
I would just like to recreate my hairline and have decent density. I understand I won't have a fully thick dense head of hair but I would want a decent hairline and majority coverage over the top. I don't mind some sparse spots as long as the average person would look at me and see a normal head of hair. I just don't want my donor area to be overharvested or the transplanted grafts to eventually fall out.
I have consulted with several Turkish clinics about getting a hair transplant and half of them say I am a good candidate and half of them say I have a weak donor area/diffused unpatterned alopecia and would not be a good candidate. What are your thoughts?
*I have been shaving my head for a few years now and this is the longest I have grown it out since 2020.
