  1. J020,

    I think I may be close to your situation, being only 3 years older than you. I think what everyone is trying to say is that, don't get a HT too early. YOu probably know by now just how careful you have to be. When I got my HT, my doctor wanted the HT to be so that when Im older it wouldnt look as fake, because the hairline of a 40 year is usually different than a 20 year old. And, my doctor also explained that I would need more HT's when the other receded if I had the available donor area. If you do go ahead with the procedure, make sure you don't get too many grafts, I wouldn't think you would need anything below 1400. Can you post any pics of your hairline so we can have a better picture and give the best advice? From this board, most people agree that Shapiro is one of the best. There's always a risk in a HT. That's why you shouldn't rush into a decision, just take your time and figure out what route you feel will be best for you.

  2. The Nurse who was there for the HT explained to me not to let the shower water directly hit the HT area. But, how long should that be the case? For months, years? Or only after first couple of weeks, and we can go back to normal. Does anyone know the answer to this?

  4. I have been told that if you lose a hair and if the root is there(small white root at the end of the hair), then that hair will never grow back. I have been losing hair after abotu 7 week post op, and its from the back of the head also. And, these a lot of the hairs that I'm losing have taht white root if you look closely at the hair.I'm afraid these hair are enver going to grow back, and I'm only 23. Has annyone experienced similar?
