Regular Member Recession1 Posted June 2, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 2, 2023 Need some help and advice please. I am 35 years old and am on Dutasteride and 5mg oral minoxidil daily. I had an appointment with doctor today (not top notch hair doctor) but he seemed knowledgeable. He did microscope on me and said I have class NW 6 miniaturization. I was planning to do a hair transplant this year to square up and bring down hairline a little lower to where it was a year ago and improve recession. Do you think I can still do that or is it too risky to get a transplant when I’m eventually going to become a NW 6? Here are some pictures of the current state of my hair. Any feedback is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member baldfighter Posted June 2, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 2, 2023 wow it’s hard to believe you are heading to NW6. You don’t need to lower the hairline, it looks great. Save the grafts for later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor A_4_Archan Posted June 3, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted June 3, 2023 I don't think so you will head towards nw6 in near future...still just by seeing pics we cannot be certain about anythng and we can't prove the doctors wrong bt you need to go to another good ht surgeon to get yourself checked again....are you loosing too many hairs recently ? What about your family history of hairloss ?are you on medication ? I guess you don't need a HT as of now unless you are too much concerned about your hairline...you are looking absolutely fine my friend..

Senior Member TheGreatPretender Posted June 3, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 3, 2023 Could have fouled me. Doesn't really look like you're heading towards a NW6. I don't think you should go for a transplant either as your hairline looks quite natural. Stay on meds, you already are on the stronger stack and revaluate.

Regular Member Recession1 Posted June 3, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 3, 2023 My dad is a NW 6 my brother is 37 no meds and is a nw 4. My mom’s dad is a nw 3 at 95 years old. Yes I am on meds… actually a very aggressive approach which is why I’m shocked I’m still losing hair and have NW 6 miniaturization. I’m on 2.5mg of Dutasteride daily and 5mg of oral minoxidil daily. I also use topical minoxidil probably 4 to 5 times a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
