Regular Member joshelstad Posted August 21, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted August 21, 2011 I am 28 years old, new to this site. I am taking finasteride. I am about a NW2/NW3. I am looking for a doctor who produces excellent results with younger hairlines. I have researched Hasson and Wong, Shapiro, Rahal and a few others. I notice a lot of what they have online are megasessions with more mature high hairlines, this is not what I am looking for. I have a full head of thick hair besides my receding hairline. Does anyone have suggestions for young hairlines? Anyone with any experience in this matter? THANKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Sparky Posted August 21, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted August 21, 2011 Out of those 3 I think only Dr Rahal would do a young hairline for you, he's very good though, one of my favorites. I have a young hairline, but only because I had it put on me when I was 22 and stupid. Not so bad at 28 when you can better evaluate your future hairloss, luckily I didn't have anymore hairloss and at 35, I'm a NW1, and it looks ok now that I was repaired by a good Dr. I would suggest doing a lot of research and thinking about this though, once it's done, there's no good way to undo it. Pics would help, photoshop out your face for privacy.

Senior Member mattj Posted August 21, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted August 21, 2011 Hi joshelstad, what do you consider to be a young hairline? It seems like you should have found some examples of results out there which fit your definition. I am a patient and representative of Dr Rahal.

Regular Member joshelstad Posted August 21, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 21, 2011 I find in my search for the perfect hair transplant that a lot of doctors seem to place the hair line very high on individuals. These individuals being older men usually. ie Hasson and Wong post a lot of images of megasessions on older individuals where they have left the hairline high on the forehead. I am looking for a hairline that is appropriate to my age. I have seen small amounts of these on most sights, mostly what I see are older individuals with grafts from 4,000 up. I am about a NWII, I need anywhere from 2,000 to 2,500 grafts. Rahal is easily becoming my number one choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member RCWest Posted August 21, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted August 21, 2011 Since you are doing your hairline, Rahal is your best choice. He is very reasonable also. Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily Avodart 0.5 mg. daily Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily 5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily Biotin 1000 mcg daily Multi Vitamin daily Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1?

Senior Member hairthere Posted August 21, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted August 21, 2011 All three clinics do excellent work and all three can produce a youthful hairline. It's going to be a question of what's appropriate for you in terms of your donor availability, family history of hairloss, and of course what you find to be acceptable and aesthetically pleasing. My advice would be to consult with all three if possible, and to work very closely with your choice in designing the hairline. Keep in mind you can always have another surgery if you wish to be more aggressive.

Senior Member orlhair1 Posted August 22, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted August 22, 2011 I think consulting with all three is a good idea as well. All great surgeons and you will get a lot of information to help you decide what to do and who to do it with.

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted August 22, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted August 22, 2011 If you have pretty minimal hair loss then I think all three of those clinics wouldn't have a problem dense packing your hairline. It just depends what you bring to the table. Dr. G: 1,000 grafts (FUT) 2008 Dr. Paul Shapiro: 2,348 grafts (FUT) 2009 ~ 1,999 grafts (FUT) 2011 ~ 300 grafts (Scar Reduction) 2013 Dr. Konior: 771 grafts (FUT) 2015 ~ 558 grafts (FUT) 2017 ~ 1,124 grafts (FUE) 2020 My Hair Transplant Journey with Shapiro Medical Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consulted several top surgeons and in the end I went with Dr Rahal. Newhairplease!!

Regular Member hairsearcher Posted August 22, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted August 22, 2011 Almost all docs insist not to fill your temple points too much. The reason all of them will give is that, it doesn't suit to your age(older age). I fail to understand this point. My father is 75 years old and he hasn't lost any hair.. .that means he still holds the hairline of a teenager.. and that doesnt make him look any ugly... Make sure you explain clearly what you want. I suggest Dr. Rahal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member alexdelarge Posted August 22, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted August 22, 2011 I am your same age, and have similar expectations. I am pretty sure I will go with Dr. Rahal when I finally decide to have my surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member unclejesse777 Posted September 24, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted September 24, 2011 Hey man, I was in the same boat as you. I went to Dr. Feller, and had a great experience, and terrific results. He evaluated me, listened to what I had to say, and even let me design the hairline. You can read about my experience here (Scroll down for pics). http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/160946-my-hair-restoration-journey-dr-feller.html Good luck with everything.
