Regular Member yeeaah Posted July 15, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted July 15, 2015 Hi guys, I posted here roughly one year ago and I was told by the community to wait. I was 25 at the time and now I am 26. I followed the advice to use propecia and that is all I have been using for the last year. Here are my pictures. I am looking to get more hair in the temple area. Also, if you notice one side of my temple is more receded than the other so I am looking to increase symmetry. What do you guys think? I would love to hear from the community. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByGkh3KXsrkmUUpMMnlEZ2FkQVE&usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Shera Posted July 15, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 15, 2015 Personally I think you look fine and should probably wait a few years before considering HT surgery. __________________________________________________ Dr Bhatti FUE Oct 2014 3305 grafts http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/178931-my-fue-dr-tejinder-bhatti-oct-2014-a.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member thatoldchestnut Posted July 15, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 15, 2015 Probably, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CalvinJR Posted July 15, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 15, 2015 But don?t over do it.. Just close the temples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member yeeaah Posted July 15, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 15, 2015 But don?t over do it.. Just close the temples. So I would just be doing it at the temple area and NOT at the hairline area right? In other words I wouldnt bring my hairline forward, rather I would just do the sides correct?

Regular Member yeeaah Posted July 15, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 15, 2015 Dr Gabel just saw my photos and he feels that I am not a good candidate for the temple area. Now I am confused as people are giving me differing point of views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted July 16, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 16, 2015 Personally, I think your hair looks very good at this stage and I would not pursue hair transplant surgery. I have no doubt that Dr. Gabel's opinion is valid. However, there is no harm is consulting with a few more physicians if you like. It's always good to compare multiple perspectives.

However i wonder if there are better concealers out there than dermatch. Dermatch falls off when I sweat. I also consulted with Dr Shapiro and he said he wouldnt touch me either.

Senior Member CalvinJR Posted July 20, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2015 I think you had too much hair before, and now you look nice. Just let your hair grow longer. Don?t get a operation now. You are obsessed with a childhood photo. Forget about that photo. Burn it. You look great, and I am sure you would look much better with longer hair, which also camouflages the slightly receding temple points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your hairloss is very, very minimal. You have a great head of hair. IMO, you don't need to take care of your temple points at this time either. Even though it may be tough not to count every hair you lose and scrutinize your hair, it's best to try and not worry. Instead, count your blessing.......Many members on here will tell you that you have an enviable head of hair. It what most here would strive to attain. Sorry to sound preachy. As for a substitute for Dermmatch, you may want to try Fill-In Powder. It's something similar to Dermmatch but it has to be shampoo'd out. The cost is much less and it's easier to apply. It comes with a small brush. I've attached a picture of it. Good luck!

Regular Member Since13 Posted July 24, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted July 24, 2015 Grow you hair longer and forget about surgery for now. Keep in mind that if your surgery did not go well you may end up far much worse. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member densedream Posted July 24, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2015 Any ethical doctor would not perform surgery on you so be aware of that. You need to chill and enjoy you hair. Put your energy to something productive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member MAGNUMpi Posted July 24, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2015 I agree with the others. Don't get a HT. No one on earth would think you are losing your hair judging by those pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member voxman Posted July 24, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 24, 2015 The NAYS have it ~ and I have to agree - you have a very good look and no one seeing you would even believe you are concerned about your hair. I would also stop putting concealers in your hair. I'm serious. Just look at my face. My Hair Regimen: Lather, Rinse, Repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member yeeaah Posted July 27, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 27, 2015 Thanks so much for all your responses. I will definitely try that other concealer as well. In fact, I think thats the concealer that I was thinking about but I just couldnt find it. A consultant from Dr Shapiros office recommended it.

Senior Member Spanker Posted July 27, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 27, 2015 I agree with everyone. Could just be a maturing hairline. You look like a man nite and not a boy. Own it. My advice is to start thinking about it when your 30, and I'd your still obsessing over it, start researching then and see what's out there for you. Your hair looks good now.

Senior Member gillenator Posted July 27, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 27, 2015 yeeaah, Not that I am speaking for either doctor but my premonition is that they are concerned that by placing grafts within or adjacent to that huge mass of hair may shock out some of the existing hair that you presently have. Sometimes having surgery too early can potentially cause more thinning behind the grafts and also to the adjacent areas that have substantial amounts of native hair. You are a good candidate for concealers and yet I know they can be a pain. But better safe than sorry. And be careful because if you look hard and long enough, someone will be willing to take your money...:confused: Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.
