sonicqwe Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Seems i have thinning hair on donor area. Could this be considered DUPA?? If yes, is there any treatment i can make? I was considering going for an hair transplant, but after seing thin hairs on this area think its not the best idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member TheDarkHour Posted April 15, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) Not sure if it's DUPA but it's definitely diffuse thinning. Need a picture from the back. If it's the same as the sides then it's definitely not a good good idea to get a transplant. My sides are also diffused and my actual donor area in the back is also thinning although much less than the sides. I went to see Bisanga who said my donor area is a little below average and he recommended that I take oral minoxidil to help strengthen the donor as well as the hair in general before he'd consider me for surgery. You could try taking both oral min and finasteride if you aren't already to strengthen your hair then consider surgery in six months. How is your father's and other relatives' hairloss? If they still have the donor then I think you can still consider a transplant. If their donors gone then I'd definitely give medication a couple of years.

sonicqwe Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) I was thinking on hair transplant, but after seing miniuatirized hair on donor area, think not the best time to avance for an hair transplant right and bet on meds like fin and minoxidil. I already was on meds before, but after a while i stop. I see i really cant stop and have to be commited if i wanna see the full efect of meds on my hair. About relatives, from my father sides no cases. But from my mother side, one uncle has alopecia. Dont know about grand father since he died young. Will send a few more photos. Thanks for the opinion.

sonicqwe Posted April 15, 2023 Author Share Posted April 15, 2023 Humm... then same as you @Melvin- Moderator isnt it?? i Will go on meds to see how it goes and then see if hair transplant is needed. Im following Dr Pitella cases, since he has really good results on high Norwood cases. Think i maybe reached 6 or 7, but with thin hair on donor area think Im not suitable for hair transplant at this moment. After seing so many sucessful results like yours and others like @Zoomster, i have to give another try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member TheDarkHour Posted April 16, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 16, 2023 Your donor's definitely thinning, though towards the top and centre it looks better. I'd probably give meds a go for at least a year. Also does your uncle still have the donor area? If he does I doubt you'd lose your entire donor region. How old are you?

sonicqwe Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 Yes, my uncle still have some donor area, but unlike me he has not difuse thining. He is nw7. Im 42. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Curious25 Posted April 16, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted April 16, 2023 I think you have a NW7 pattern, and the thinning you are seeing in your donor area is retrograde alopecia starting to become more aggressive - creeping up towards leaving you with the small strip across the middle of the occipital region of your head, as seen in a classic NW7 pattern.
