Hi all, Thanks for all of your thoughts. From what I have been reading I gather that If I were to have a small procedure like what Dr Tessler explained I am likely to suffer loss of my existing hair in the crown. My questions are will that hair grow back or is it lost forever? I have been on propecia and rogaine for 1.5 years and wish to continue to take it. My second question is given that a small procedure could be done, how many grafts would approximately be needed and would strip of extraction method be preferable? Since I am from Australia it is difficult for me to get overseas. Given the points made by the others that I am not suitable, or if I am it would only be a small procedure, then I guess it seems more logical to wait it out a bit. However given this I still hate the fact I have a patch which is notably thinner and barer than the rest of my head! I don't want to be worrying about this for the next five-fifty years either. Thanks in advance M

Hey all, I have done a little bit of research but have not much of a clue on transplants. I want to thicken up my crown and top region where it is needed. Can anyone say suggest a rough figure on how many grafts I would need to make this achievable? As I have already mentioned I am concerned about the scar being left from the procedure and was wondering whether people have found docs that help leave minimal to no evidence of the procedure having taken place. Thanks in advance and please excuse my ignorance as I have done a lot of reading but still am slightly overwhelmed by all the information out here.

Hi all, I have been thinning on my crown region for about 3 years now. I am 25 and it is really starting to distrub me and curb my social acitivites. I am worried of it continuing further and getting even worse. I want to get a transplant procedure to thicken up the crown area and perhaps look at adding something to the receding hairline. I have been on propecia for 1.5 years and rogaine for the same. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. The biggest problem for me is that I live in Oz and from what i have been reading we do not have the best surgeons and if we have any they charge through the rough. Given how big a decision this is in ones life I would be willing to go to a top Dr like Hasson.
