Regular Member Carve Posted September 10, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted September 10, 2015 I'm turning 26 next month and have never had my hair professionally assessed. I live in Vancouver, so I could go see Hasson & Wong for a consolation. However, I am strongly considering going overseas for FUE one of these years. Would it be a waste of $100 to get a in-person consolation right now? This is my hair: I mean, what could they even tell me besides, "Yeah, you have some recession and should get on fin." Is it worth going just to get my donor area looked at? Would they be able to guess how much more I'm destined to lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted September 11, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 11, 2015 I think it's worthwhile especially as they are so close. There are so many things you can't know about without being told by a professional such as your donor supply, laxity, how many grafts will be needed to achieve your goals etc you don't want to fly to Europe to be told that your donor is very weak and that surgery isn't for you. 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now. Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018. Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week. Wrote a book for newbies called Beating Hair Loss, available on Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Swooping Posted September 11, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 11, 2015 " Is it worth going just to get my donor area looked at? Would they be able to guess how much more I'm destined to lose? No nobody will be able to tell you that. However, I am strongly considering going overseas for FUE one of these years. That's a very good game plan. Your hair is still very great at this moment. If I were you I would still wait like 1-3 years. Just chill out a few months, your hairline will probably regress more considering you can't go on finasteride and then fill the space up with a lovely FUE from a elite surgeon!

Senior Member gillenator Posted September 14, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted September 14, 2015 It never hurts to get as many opinions as you desire. You never know what you might learn from the discussions and if anything, you get more informed in the process.
