Welcome to the forum,

As we tell all new members we'll need your statistics:

- Age

- Are you taking any kind of Finasteride/Dutasteride or Minoxidil? If so which one, brand, generic?

- Take pictures of you hair, top, front, back and sides and post them here in the photo album section, you'll get a lot of expert advice. For the best way to take pics go to:

- Ask as many questions as you need, we are here to help. Research, read, learn as much as you can on this forum and on the Multimedia Hair Loss Learning Center:

http://www.hairlosslearningcenter.org/

 

Don't rush, the more you know, the best choices you'll make. Some members spend months here before reaching their best educated decision.

 

- Check members Hair Loss Weblogs to find similar cases to yours and which doctor did their HT and their results.

- Once you are a bit more familiar with the terminology and the different approaches you can guesstimate your own Norwood scale:

- You can also play with the graft calculator to get an idea:

Looking forward to your info.

Philippos,

 

Welcome to the forums.

 

HK500 has given you some great advice and has asked you some questions that will help get you rolling.

 

Have you consulted with any doctors yet? I'll echo HK500 when I say "don't rush". Making a decision to get surgery done should not be taken lightly. It is even more risky for a younger person with minimal hairloss to go into it. Once we find out more about your situation, we'll know how to advice you better.
