Thanks to everyone for the welcoming and the words of warning (especially to NG2GB)! I suspected it was a bad idea but guess I needed to hear it from someone else, so I?‚??m not going through with it right now. Will wait until I can afford a solution that?‚??s not going to ruin my life even more. Bad enough with the existing hair loss... To answer your questions Chucky: I am from Europe but actually living temporarily in the US (NYC) right now. That?‚??s why the quote was in dollars. Have a trip to Europe very soon and therefore it was tempting to have it done at the same time. So if anyone knows of cost effective FUE in the US I?‚??d love to hear about it, although I realize now that quality has to be the first criteria. Also been trying to figure out how to classify my level of hair loss but it?‚??s a bit tricky. Basically the hair line has receded just a little bit and I?‚??m losing hair very evenly on the temporal, frontal and vertex. There isn?‚??t any bald spot but the hairs on these areas are just very far apart from each other. I don?‚??t know what number that is on the Norwood scale but I would say I?‚??ve lost around half of my hair on those areas. It?‚??s been going on for around 3 years now. As I said before it was estimated I need around 2.500 - 3.000 hairs transplanted (this was a virtual consultation based on pictures I sent, I thought it all sounded realistic though). I?‚??m in my early 30?‚??s and I?‚??ve had long nice hair for half of my life, so this is quite a big issue for me. I guess it?‚??s time to get used to a very short hair cut but since I have dark hair and a pale scalp it looks quite bad with a shaved head (because all the baldness will show quite clearly). That is the reason I?‚??d like to have a FUE, so I can have a very short hair cut. The latest couple of years I?‚??ve been wearing caps but I?‚??m starting to get quite sick of all the comments about me sleeping with it on. To make things worse my lengthy relationship just ended, so having major issues about appearance, self esteem etc. Sorry, didn?‚??t mean to turn this into a therapy session;-) About medication, started taking Propecia just a week ago, but actually I?‚??m a bit worried about side effects.
