I read that Dr. Keene uses that trico closure method and she generally stay away from FUE. I really like here work and my next step is to set up a consolation with her in person. I guess the only thing I'm seriously considering is going FUE. Yes I realize it is more expensive but I'm thinking of the following benefits it might offer me. 1. Recovery time will shorten. This is important because I don't really get the option to take an extended vacation. 2. Can't wear hats to work. I work in an office pro environment so I'm sure people will notice the scar right away. 3. FUE can be an option to go after in smaller sessions. I figure since I'm just trying to bring the hairline down a bit maybe I can have a few mini sessions of FUE to slowly bring it down. My chief concern here is whether this would have a negative effect on my existing hair. I read about shock loss and how HT can sometimes cause the hair around the area to shed. Are there any folks here who have had or read of experiences involving smaller FUE sessions that were primarily focused on the hairline area? Thanks again. SROD

Wow you guys are really good for my ego. The density I have is only because of the regular use of nizoral, rogaine and fin. My forehead hairs seem to be the most sensitive to DHT because my already big forehead has creeped back little by little each year. I even notice when talking to girls that they look at my big shiny forehead (ok its probably in my head). I gueess I'm thinking of going after that more refined and slightly lower hairline. Does anyone have any experiences with forehead reduction? Would someone in my situation (high forehead) go for a strip or FUE? I'm thinking FUE because I usually keep my hair relatively short on the sides and back. I would prefer to wait for a strip surgery perhaps in my 40's if needed. Here is a shot from the back of my head. Do I have enough density to go FUE or strip? Thanks all for your help. You guys are awesome...honest and forward but very practical in your advice.

Hi all, I've been a longtime lurker and its not until this year that I realized I've moved to that point were I gotta either shave it all off or do something. I don't think I have the face to pull off the shaved look. I'm now 35..been on rogaine since 20 and have been taking 1/4 fin for the last two years. I feel its worked to prevent the inevitable but now its here. Can I get your guys honest opinion around how many graphs I would need? And what would be the typical cost for my situation? I'm thinking of going with Keene here in Tucson.
