Piano Man

Thank you so much Bill and Dr. Lindsey. I am extremely gracious to receive first hand advice from a Physician and an experienced patient. I will continue with the minoxidil and get a prescription for propecia. I'll update you all periodically with my status. While I would love to go ahead an correct the frontal triangle, I realize that having patience is probably in my best interest. Best Regards, Matt

Thanks for the responses everyone. to answer some questions... one of my brothers lost all of the hair, both frontal and crown. I think that I am following in his footsteps. My other brother has thinned across his entire scalp; however, he did not develop the frontal triangle recession like my oldest brother and I did. I am assuming that within a couple of years, I will have no hair left on the top of my head. I'm basically getting to the point where I am going to shave my head, or do something about it. I do have some stress, but I doubt that stress plays a critical role. All of my cousins on my mom's side are balding as well. It's a bummer....however I should mention that I do realize that there could be a lot worse things going on. I am blessed to have my health and wonderful family and friends. Nevertheless, I am very interested in correcting the frontal triangle. But, if I'm going to loose the rest of my hair, is HT going to be worth it, or will I risk looking silly once i loose the rest of my hair?

Here's the superior view.

HI everyone, I'm 22 years old and a professional musician. Both of my older brothers lost their hair around my age and I am following in their footsteps. I've used rogaine for about 6 months and have seen no results. I have the funds and would rather just get the follicular transplant, however the surgeon in my town (who is recommended on this site) does not see patients younger than 25. What should I do? I've attached a couple of pics to show where I'm at. thanks! matt
