dsmols Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 A Turkish hair clinic denied me for FUE, saying the following: "All your main androgenetic areas (front, mid and crown) are thinning out, and also expanded crown is starting to get miniaturized. A hair transplant is safe to be planned on a stable situation, not with an ongoing hair loss that seems destined to stop at a high norwood (6 or 7) like yours. Furthermore you also seem to be at risk of DUPA (diffuse unpatterned alopecia) and Alopecia Retrograde, meaning that some hairs all around and inside the donor area can start to get miniaturized in the future if you don't take an anti DHT therapy." Do you guys think I have DUPA? Two other clinics (not hair mills, they charge per graft and the doctor performs the procedure) approved me and mentioned nothing about this.

You need to visit a surgeon in person, no one can say for sure you have DUPA by looking at a picture. Where do you live? I can suggest a decent local surgeon.

Senior Member Britanium Posted January 5, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 5, 2021 From the pics we can see possible DUPA yes. But I agree that you should revisit a Dr in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a chance at a good HT I would highly suggest trying it out. But yeah, go see a reputable Doctor or HT surgeon who can use a microscope to examine your hair. Or order one on Amazon - they only cost $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
