Sickog Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) Hi everyone, I’m new to this site but would like some insight. I’m 24 years old, I’ve been on oral finasteride since 21. I’ve never had thinning, but hopped on finasteride to prevent any further recesssion. Most people on tressless (reddit) including my hair surgeon doc tell me I don’t need a transplant. However, I would like to get one. And I’m sure there’s other doctors out there that would okay a transplant as I’ve seen 22 year olds get them not saying that’s recommended but lol. My hair is very dense all over including the hairline, I just hate my hairline. How many grafts do you guys think I’d need sense everyone seems to dismiss this? And also what Norwood level would you say I’m at? I feel like I’m about a 2-2.5. Thanks! Edited May 16, 2023 by Sickog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Turkhair Posted May 16, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted May 16, 2023 Norwood 1 Some people have hairlines like that naturally, not everyone has completely straight. 1000 grafts will give great density but even less than that should suffice. Anything more will just make it look even nicer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HappyMan2021 Posted May 16, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted May 16, 2023 Can you take more pictures, and also pictures that are normal profile photos? Headshot, right side, left side, and back? The positioning in your current pics is kind of awkward. Also don't have your hair wet. With the information and pics you have provided, you barely have any MPB, and a hair transplant at this stage would do more harm than good. Its like if a 50 yr old had the very very slightest of hip pain, and opted to get a full blown hip transplant, even if it wasnt necessary for another 20 years or so. If I were you I would try to relax and enjoy my youth. Come back to this world if you have more hairloss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the best way I can expose my whole hairline with my cowlicks lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do HT and result is bad then you will be more worried than now. You have a good hairline and you might ruin it. So i also dont recommend HT to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front, side, crown and top im honestly not seeing any signs of MPB. The reason you shouldn't wet your hair for photos is because it weighs down your hair and can make it appear thinner than it actually is. Also its just not the default/natural state of your hair. The same reason you wouldn't want to show pics with a bunch of gel in your hair, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
