Good candidate for first HT?


Recommended Posts

In my personal opinion, your hair looks great. You’re definitely a candidate, I don’t think you need a hair transplant, but then again who does. For your level of hair loss I would stick with FUE

Norwood 3 with god-tier density. His hair is not only thick, but dense as hell.

This is almost exactly what my hair looked like in terms of recession and density at that same age - early 30s. 
 

I am now a NW 3 possibly 4 with a fair amount of thinning. 
 

another testament to the unpredictable enigma that is MPB. 
 

any side effects from the fin?

I would kill someone for having this hair right now (I'm 28!).

In my opinion having this dense hair could be a potential problem. We can't possibly transplant as much density as you have naturally, so you might run into risk of having visible difference in natural and transplanted hairs (as you have very strong forelock) especially when wet. Of course you could have multiple surgeries to "top up", but it could't be a waste of time and money for such minimal improvement.

I would say stick to meds, prevent further hair loss and be happy. If you see it's really bothering you (again, I'm NW5 and I'm happy just to get my frontal done 7 weeks ago, more info in my signature) then you could think of HT with someone who has a good track record of dealing with similar cases with high density implanted (possibly implantations with Lion Implanters?). Avoid cheak HT clinics at all cost!

Otherwise you are a great HT candidate.
