Thanks for the help guys. I saw Doctor Pak in Beverly Hills today. I got a prescription to Propecia. he did not recommend me for surgery, wanted me to take Propecia for a year and then see if I am a surgery candidate then (I turn 23 next month). I have another question; Some of you are recommending using rogaine as well as Propecia. One of you said this will especially help with the frontal third (where I am losing it). I forgot to ask the doctor about this, but is this a common thing to do? Mix rogaine and Propecia? Will this help the front? Thanks fellas.

The one thing I am worried about is that scarring will be so bad that I won't be able to have a close crop, buzzed look ever again in my life. How long do you have to keep your hair to cover up the scarring?

Im 23. About a year ago I went in to a transplant consultation where they said they didn't want to prescribe me Propecia because it doesn't work for a receeding hairline. Is this true? My hair recession is quickly moving toward the top of my head so I am thinking maybe at this point propecia might actually work. thanks in advance for feedback.

sorry, one more question to all that seem to be so worried about young people getting the transplants... if i do lose too much hair that i cant keep up with it anymore, couldnt i just do a laser hair removal to keep from looking like a freak? i mean, if this is all it would take, seems like a risk i would be willing to take...

thanks for the info, i am emailing some photos to reed out of la jolla. he should give me an honest assessment. out of curiosity, though, what is the worst that can/has happened to people who get the transplant too young? say i do it, accepting risks, and the risks are realized... i mean i guess the head would just end up with weird bald spots??

I do not understand this, if anything, I would think it would be good to get it young, one reason being it wouldn't be a drastic change, and the costs could be spread out over the long term. I understand what you are trying to say but I don't see this as an option, really. I will be totally bald by then haha

Hey all, been reading this forum for about a year. I've read the concerns about young people getting a transplant. I am 22 years old with a receding hairline. I first noticed hair loss when I was 18 and got my head buzzed for Army basic training, but looking back on photos my hair loss started when I was 17, senior year of high school. Obviously, I don't want to go through the rest of my twenties bald, because it isn't getting any better. I went to Bosley in Beverly Hills about a year ago, what a joke, they wanted to schedule a surgery after a doctor looked at my head for like 3 minutes. Since then, I've been educating myself via the internet. I originally decided to wait, but am now considering, again, getting the transplant. Basically, I have a few concerns. I know I will be dealing with mpb the rest of my life, and if I do the procedure I know I will be committing myself to more in the future... I am also content with a conservative approach. I was told that Propecia wont work for frontal hair loss, so I haven't tried it. I have read, though, that it works best when there is noticeable peach fuzz. I have just recently, in the past 6 months, noticed that my receding hair is leaving peach fuzz where before there was just a bald scalp. My recession is much greater on the "corners" of my hairline, but there is also some in the front. The front has receded maybe a quarter inch, and the corners have receded maybe an inch. Wondering what you all think are my options, and if the surgery would be okay, and what are the risks of getting it done young, etc. thanks!
