Beebah Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Hi I'm a 32 year old black guy. I was wondering if I might have DUPA. I'm pretty sure I atleast have retrograde alopecia and since my sides are thinner in that type of pattern. I think also have normal balding as well, I think, especially at my crown. So, I have DUPA as well? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Pbaird98 Posted December 9, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted December 9, 2022 Bro see a Dermatologist and/or a hair transplant Dr, even if we see pics it needs a professional to make the call.👍🏿 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member WhereIsMyMind Posted December 10, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted December 10, 2022 top is just standard diffusse thinning on donor, I am not really sure how afro hair is meant to look when buzzed down, but it looks fairly homogenous which is a good sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beebah Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 Ok, glad to hear. The first guy mentioned dermatologist and I've been thinking about it, just haven't happened yet. I know that's the only way to know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member pkipling Posted December 12, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted December 12, 2022 I agree that it looks like standard diffused thinning on top. A dermatologist could give you some insight, although I feel like getting a consultation with a hair transplant surgeon is often the better route - especially if you go to one of the top surgeons who do in depth consultations. For instance, @Parsa Mohebi, MD performs a microscopic evaluation as part of the consultation so that he's able to measure the miniaturization levels of your existing hair. This information (combined with family and personal history of hair loss, age, etc.) can give the surgeons a substantial amount of info to be able to get a general idea of where your hair loss is ultimately heading and what your best options would be moving forward. If you're not considering a hair transplant at the moment, but just want to gather more info about your specific situation, see if you can find a recommended surgeon close to you who also measures the miniaturization levels of your hair and set up a consultation with them to get their input. I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA. My views/opinions are my own and don't necessarily reflect the opinions of Dr. Mohebi and his staff. Check out my hair loss website for photos FUE surgery by Dr. Mohebi on 7/31/14 2,001 grafts - Ones: 607; Twos: 925; Threes: 413; Fours: 56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beebah Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 Ok, I hope that's the case. Thanks for thr tips! I forgot to post the picture that made me think of dupa the most. I'll post it, but I understand that ultimately, I need to go to a professional to get my answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
