Senior Member hoose Posted July 10, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted July 10, 2008 charlie, Could you post some more pics with the hairline exposed? That would give a better indication of how many grafts; Also are you taking any meds to slow down/halt further loss? At 32, and it appears you have a decent amount of hair, I think you would be a good candidate for a HT; first I would get on propecia, if you aren't already to stabalize your hair loss; it may help fill in the crown area; it is hard to give you an estimate based on those pics, but I would say 2500 grafts focused in the front would give a good cosmetic differance.

Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted July 10, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted July 10, 2008 Not the best pics. That said.....3k seems about right; possibly a bit more depending on how strong your hairline is. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash. Follicles have asked for centuries, in ten languages, as many times so as to confuse a mathematician. Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

Senior Member charlie_08 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hey..thanks for your reply I tried propecia for about 5 days and had a really bad reaction to it...(i couldnt have sex for for 5 days!...kidding, no nothing to do with my pecker lol)just had really bad anxiety..which is strange because i have never herd of anyone else having this problem so i wonttake it. Ive tried everytying laser comb, minoxidil, shampoo,herbals ...i was one of these people that thought if i get onto my hair loss when i was younger (24) i would be able to keep what i had then... but no such luck! i have been trying i product called crinagen for about 3 months recently which seems to be stopping it from falling out although you never can be sure or not and not sure i want to be putting that on my sculp for the rest of my life! Sorry about the pics as good as it gets for now...i took them on my phone..i will have to barrow someones camera and take some decent photos. Is it not a good idea from what you can see getting work done on the crown area? 2600 ? i was hopeing only 1500..but if im going to do this i want to do it properly!

Senior Member hoose Posted July 11, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted July 11, 2008 charlie, By looking at your pic; I would say 3000 if you have the donor and laxity for it; 1500 would not make a significant cosmetic differance; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Timothy Carman Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Charlie- Welcome to the HTN. In all probability, you appear to be a good candidate for HT surgery. That said, to really get an accurate appraisal of your individual needs you would be best to schedule a consultation with a recommended Hair Restoration Surgeon. That way you can get a concrete idea of exactly what you will require to attain your hair restoration goals.

Dr. Timothy Carman Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 As per Dwayne that is correct- I have had several patients, who, because of distance considerations, had their procedures performed after scheduling from our phone consult only. These days with digital photos, etc., a good deal of information can be exchanged via a combination of e-mail and telephone communication. The specifics can be zeroed in on the morning of the procedure. I just wanted to clear that up- didn't want to give the impression that you couldn't achieve your objectives without the in person first....

Regular Member jont Posted August 22, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted August 22, 2009 If worried about no having HT noticed would this guy have an option of 1500 done now and another 1000 in 12 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
