It would matter a lot, if a guy got a lower hairline placement at a younger age, because he still had more hair at the time of his surgery. Let me say it a different way... sometimes when young guys want a transplant, the "correct" placement of their HT hairline would be higher than what they currently have(!) Age is not the only factor, but it is a big big factor nontheless. I believe it was Dr. Jones who commented, that when very young guys get a transplant, his age factor raises the odds that he will be disappointed later. I'd bet this is common to all clinics. <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>I'll offer this up ..FUE thins out the existing donor site..we all recognize that...Strip doesnt... Of course it does. There's no such thing as a "free lunch" in the donor area. When you close the gap, FU groupings in the donor area are not going to be spaced as close together. Granted this is a subtle effect, especially if the donor strip was small, but strip surgery is not a free lunch. A small point, but something that people need to realize.

Senior Member Brando Posted February 28, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted February 28, 2004 I'm with you. I'm young too and I would love to have hair in the front where there is none. Propecia or Rogaine could be taken for the back...but the hairline is what bothers us young guys so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
