Regular Member IrishAndroid Posted August 23, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted August 23, 2012 I originally posted in January and want to update my pictures to see what people think. Also, what doctors should I post to? Or what forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Thehairupthere Posted August 23, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted August 23, 2012 Right now your hair loss is minimal. You hairline is becoming more mature, and if you really wanted to you could have a small procedure to strengthen the temples, corners and hairline. From your first photos your hair appears very similar, but you may have lost more but it's very hard to say from the pics. If you're concerned about further loss consult with a doctor and see if you should begin a regiment of rogaine foam and finasteride (propecia). Use the tool on the top right of this site where it says "find a great surgeon near you" and you can see local doctors. You can also do some research on other doctors located around the country and internationally. I am a consultant for Dr. True and Dr. Dorin. These opinions are my own.

Senior Member Spanker Posted August 23, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted August 23, 2012 It really hard to tell when hair is pulled back like that whether or not you have any thinning in that area. Your hair looks pretty good to me. I would get that mole taken off tho.

Regular Member IrishAndroid Posted August 23, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 23, 2012 I appreciate the feedback. So what I've gathered is there may've been some loss since January. And thanks for the nod at the mole, which is actually a blood blister, if I'm not mistaken. I have an appointment with a dermatologist here soon. I'm interested in getting the miniaturization mapping done, too. I assume the same doctor can help me out with that, if not refer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spanker Posted August 24, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted August 24, 2012 It looks pretty solid to me. Miniaturization mapping is pretty specialized and not everyone does it. I would ask. If you are that concerned find a very reputable HT doc and have an eval. If you are not on finasteride and you think you are losing hair you may want to start it. I do not think you should consider surgery yet. I am an online representative for Dr. Raymond Konior who is an elite member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.

Senior Member RCWest Posted August 25, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted August 25, 2012 You have very mild if any loss yet. Your hair looks very good! Most of us would be extremely happy to have what you have. It wouldn't hurt to start Finasteride if you think you notice changes. The earlier you start the better chances you have of regrowing. 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?
