2nd Consultation Question.

[TheRazorsEdge]

Hello,

 

This week I will be having my 1 year follow up with a hair transplant surgeon in Southern California.

 

I really did not go into that first session with a hair transplant as an absolute must. In fact, the doctor told me that I was NOT a candidate at that time (too young, potential shock loss, hair loss isn't cosmetically unbearable...ect)

 

I was given a Proscar prescription and have taken it without fail.

 

Again, I am having my second consultation this week after 1 year on Proscar and though I am much wiser about the process, I would appreciate some advice.

 

I am guessing he will recommend that I stay the course with the Proscar for now which is okay with me but stil....

 

What kinds of questions should I ask during this follow up?

 

I want to make the most of my limited time.

 

Thanks

P.S.

 

My Stats for reference

 

Age - 26

 

First noticed hair loss - @ 25, but I am guessing it was going on for a while before I noticed (like everyone)

 

Hair Color - Light Brown

 

Texture - Slightly Wavy

 

Density - 2.0 hairs per mm^2

 

Current Pattern - Somewhere in the Norwood 2 range

 

Expected Pattern - Class 3

 

Initial Mapping and Density Measurements from first visit:

 

80% Miniaturization on the Front Corners

 

Less than 20% on Top, Midscalp, Crown.

 

Desired result: Maintain and eventually restore hairline when the time is right. I will ONLY undertake an FUE procedure. STRIP is NOT an option. If that cuts my donors supply in half, so be it.

 

 

Thanks again for your feedback and advice!
