Which hairline?

[Barry1108]

Hi,

 

I am booked in for a HT with Dr Path in May 2012 and have been reading these forums with interest over the last few months.

I would like some feedback over what typr of hairline people think I should ask for.

I am a 38 year old man and have been thinning/receding for 10-12 years.

 

Thank you.

 

Barry

Are you on meds?

Been on Rogaine foam for about 6 weeks and have ordered Finpecia but I wont receive it for another 2 weeks.

Should I use Nizoral too?

I'm guessing you had a high forehead to begin with? Docs usually don't go lower than the crinkles in your forehead, so maybe that will help you out.

 

You could probably do the best (and most realistic) hairline by using your existing frontal tuff and forming a "U" shape slightly behind it. You would look much younger if you talked to him about moving your temple points forward and connecting them to the hairline.

 

You resemble Anderson Cooper a bit, google him and look at his temple points and hairline.

I would stick with your basic hairline and just make it more solid.

That was what I had in mind, something that frames my face a little bit better than what I already have (or dont have) and then just thickening up the top part where it is thin.

I think the temple points idea is a good one.

Is Dr Path usually good with his harlines do you know?

Are you booked for a specific number of grafts?

Around 3000 grafts, but obviously specific number will be decided at pre-op
