Regular Member Michael C Posted July 28, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted July 28, 2009 I sorry to hear that for what ever reason. If your hair is at NW6 or 7 or heading there, yes start propecia and other stuff however, keep reading and I am sure you have...It will noy make it come back. Just stop it and may create some peach fuz...Now all this coming from someone who is still learning and I thank God for the internet which allows us all this great information when we are faced with life changing situations, ie HT.....the only reason why I am responding is cause you made comment about Shapiro being the best. I hear that too, and have an appt for October 8th and honestly am beside my self to go. I am a little older, 39, so I can see where you are coming from with holding off till 35?????? Or maybe not. Keep investigating...I know the biggest problem for me was $$$$$$. I have a 3rd party helping me and for that thankful. I will be in debit to her for 3 years now but its my lovely mother ...There are some many decisicions here when making this huge leap!!!! Best of luck!

Senior Member the B spot Posted July 28, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted July 28, 2009 Hi PMH--- I think this is a great decision. We only want our patients do go forward when they are ready, not when we are ready. Perhaps on the other side of 30, after meds/rogaine, you will be better able to make better informed decision and know 100% it is the right one for YOU. I wish you all the best, and as always, please feel free to contact SMG with any questions.

Bill - Seemiller Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 pullmyhair, As other's have said, you should only go forward with a hair transplant procedure when you are ready. It sounds like you've thought a lot about this and ultimately, I think it's a good decision. And if/when the time is right, you can always reconsider a procedure. All the Best, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dr. Ricardo Mejia Posted July 29, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted July 29, 2009 Kudos on your decision. It is very wise to consider your future hair loss progression. I too had a patient in your same shoes and progression at age 23. I also explained the bald is beautiful approach and how it is very fashionable and accepted today. He decided too shave his head and is even more happy now with his decision and new look.

I have been speaking with Janna a bit while researching some FUE work and it is this type of attitude (among other things) that makes me feel very encouraged about Dr Shapiro. 4374 grafts-7/2/2008-Dr Rahal 485 singles 2336 doubles 1526 triples 16 quads 9809 total hairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member the B spot Posted July 30, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2009 Thanks Wantego--- I am glad your experience with us has been positive-- we just do not do the high pressure thing, preferring to be patient orientated first. Things just seem to be easier that way =) Anyway, Janna is awesome and is a good friend. She will take care of you for sure Take Care, Jason Go Cubs! 6721 transplanted grafts 13,906 hairs Performed by Dr. Ron Shapiro Dr. Ron Shapiro and Dr. Paul Shapiro are members of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.
