Senior Member Spanker Posted January 9, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted January 9, 2013 I don't think it has, I couldn't tell much of a difference. I looked at the pics yesterday but don't see them anymore. I am an online representative for Dr. Raymond Konior who is an elite member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.

Senior Member RodG Posted January 12, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hi, Just had a look at your photos and it does look like you've receded a bit. The photos were low resolution and it was a bit difficult to tell how bad your recession is. I've always taken the view that unless your head suits a particular style it isn't a good thing to try and cover up your hairloss. Some guys shave down and get themselves ultra fit and this approach seems to work for them. You could also go to a stylist and get them to offer some suggestions for you. I'm sorry I can't offer any other advice except to say that I'd lost 50% of my hair by 21 years old and as best I could I tried to get on with life. Your a little young to have a hair transplant but this is something that you could consider in the future. Cheers Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
