Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted December 28, 2016 Administrators Share Posted December 28, 2016 However, I've never said that I'd go for a HT now. I said in the future. Future as in 2 years, that's hardly enough time, you'll be 21 and still too young to determine a safe zone, I would say at a minimum you should wait till 26. The problem is that no body can predict your pattern or what hair is permanent and what hair is not, it is a very real possibility that you will be a very bald Norwood 6/7, if any hair is taken from a zone that is not permanent you will run into serious problems, scattered hair in unnatural pattern, visible FUE punch scars, an island of hair, those are just a few possible scenarios all of which are worse than being bald IMO. Additionally, you are losing hair rapidly, I looked back at a thread from last year and you've lost A LOT of hair in just a year, which shows your hair loss is not stable, if you have surgery you could get bad shock loss and end up looking worse than you did before surgery. Ultimately, it's your choice your body you will do what you want to, your asking us for advice and we're a group of individuals with nothing to gain telling you the truth, it's up to you if you want to accept it.

You're right mate. I'm kosing hair at a rapid pace atm but who knows, in 3-5 years time hair loss can be stable and stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member aWidowsPeek Posted December 29, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted December 29, 2016 I had James Dean hair until i was 24ish then it slowly started to recede. I remember looking in the mirror at my hairline that had only went back about half a inch at that point and picturing my bald future. I cried lol. So i know how it goes, it sucks.

Regular Member Vainism Posted January 1, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted January 1, 2017 So sorry to the OP, HT will only worsen your aesthetics with time IMO. I think you might have to just shave and rock the bald look for another 6 years and see where your hair loss is at to plan forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Foreverblue Posted January 1, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 1, 2017 I've talked to a quality doctor and he said I can get a hair transplant in the future + take some grafts from the beard. The doctor have himself done these surgery so that was quite positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member home1212 Posted January 1, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted January 1, 2017 i agree with many of the comments posted here, you're way too young to be looking into a HT at this stage, you have what appears to be alot of miniaturization in the crown area, so that area is bound to become thinner, you also don't know how much your lateral humps will drop so you don't want a patch of hair on top of your head seperated from your sides that looks like an island... sorry for the bad news but your best route is to take a wait & see approach until your late 20's early 30's and see how your hair loss progresses or stabilizes. Look into getting on meds if they're appropriate for you, some natural supplements (ie. saw palmetto, MSM, b-complex), better shampoos, minox, etc. best of luck to you and you always have the support of this community for advice, seeing others' experiences, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member hsrp10 Posted January 2, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted January 2, 2017 Ok but why the "blind-eyed" approach on liking any doctor that will accept your case? This is one of the most hard-core hair restoration sites on the planet with more HT veterans than any other forum, if you see us trying to gently nudge you away from a doctor (which I did at first) then you should take it as an important sign. We try to help others avoid the pitfalls out there and there are many. Anyway, some people's mind's are made up and can't be change. If you really open up your eyes you'll see everyone in this thread is trying to help you. But maybe your current mindset is not letting you see that. good luck and be careful out there go dense or go home Unbiased advice and opinions based on 25 plus years of researching and actual experience with hair loss, hair restoration via both FUT & FUE, SMP, scalp issues including scalp eczema & seborrheic dermatitis and many others HSRP10's favorite FUT surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr Hasson, Dr. Rahal HSRP10's favorite FUE surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Erdogan, Dr. Couto (*indicates actual experience with doctor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Vainism Posted January 2, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted January 2, 2017 I'm pretty sure belguims bisanga or feredini are known to take on some complex cases such as these. But your best bet for money is koray erdogan from Turkey hands down. Lorenzo from Spain. Diep, kesser, feller, Alexander and Shapiro are pretty pronoun names in the FUE industry., so look into those names and do your research. Really do wish you the best of luck mate.

Senior Member KO Posted January 2, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted January 2, 2017 Pretty much all of them would tell OP to get on meds first, which he has ruled out...so not a candidate for an HT unfortunately. 3382 FUE Lupanzula http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185463-3382-grafts-lupanzula.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Foreverblue Posted January 2, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 2, 2017 I have a realistic expectation. As long as the doctor can create a bit of buzz cut look with normally shaved hair, I'd be happy. "You will never be a candidate unless you get on meds" and my question to you is: how do you know? How? How do you know how my hairloss and donor area is gonna develop? It may stabalize for all we know but you seem so sure of the fact how it will develop as if you can see into the future. Here is someone who has had a hairloss like me and is getting a ht: Image - TinyPic - gratis v?rdtj?nst f?r bilder, foton och video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member voxman Posted January 2, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted January 2, 2017 As long as the doctor can create a bit of buzz cut look with normally shaved hair, I'd be happy.

Regular Member Foreverblue Posted January 2, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 2, 2017 You're getting on my nerves now. I'm young and I'm on this forum gain as much as information as possible, in every single way. Don't get fucking annoyed because I ask questions. Sencondly, I have tried every single haircut. I've even shaved my hair to the skin and i dont have the head to pull it off. I'm literally not comfotable in my skin at the moment. Hate life. Fuck life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Foreverblue Posted January 2, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 2, 2017 What also nnoys me is that I have spoken to 4 doctors and all have said I'd be a good candidate in the future based on the design of the hair loss, it wont affect the donor hair left.

Regular Member Foreverblue Posted January 2, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 2, 2017 https://postimg.org/image/bovumginb/ Not the most clear lines but somewhere there or even 0,5 cm upwards and I will be happy. I don't need a full head of hair as long as I can get a relatively clean buzz cut look or something like that. I will never consider a fut surgery given that I'd like to keep my hair short, therefore fue is my option. I'm aware that choosing doctors and when the time comes I will definitly not care about the price. I'm a hugeeee fan of Koray Erdogan and if he will be around in the future He will be my no. 1 choice if there aren't any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
