    Diffuse thinning but how bad? Oral minoxidil and toppik or buzz cut. Depressing the life out of me

    I don't see any hairloss except maybe a tiny amount on the hairline but you might just be getting a mature hairline, how old are you? You should have taken a straight down crown shot from above and more close ups of the hairline to get a better opinion. Personally I would give finasteride a full...

    Hair Transplant and working - UK based

    Take as much holiday time as you can so you are as healed as possible before going back to work but as others have said, it's perfectly normal to see guys walking around post op nowadays I've seen loads and no-one thinks anything about it. It doesn't have any stigma nowadays, no-one is going to...

    1st timer for hair transplant...strip or FUE?

    No I'm talking about fully shaven, small circle scars visible with no raised areas, keloid etc. I have seen many people with this in person. Have you actually done a hair transplant yet? It sounds to me like you just want to believe that there are no scars but believe me this isn't always the...

    1st timer for hair transplant...strip or FUE?

    Well I've seen many patients with visible FUE scarring even from top doctors and the eye is drawn to anything which looks unnatural even if it's just a space with no hair. But yes I've also seen many people with no visible scarring, the point I'm making is don't assume you'll be easily able to...

    1st timer for hair transplant...strip or FUE?

    Both FUT and FUE have advantages and disadvantages. One big misconception with FUE is that you can easily shave your head in the future. This isn't true for many people especially if you've had a large number of grafts extracted ( even without overharvesting) For many people all those small...

    FUE scars for beard transplant, worth it ?

    Yeah, as trialAcc says SMP has really come on and can really help camouflage the FUE extraction dots (just make sure you go somewhere good). Mediterranean skin is actually an advantage for SMP. With the beard transplant also remember that head hair is much finer than beard hair so it may not be...

    I stop minoxidil and I advise who want to start

    Like what? I'm not aware of anything, the only advance in the last 10 years has been approving dutasteride for hair loss, but we've already had that unofficially for years. Even the companies who were investigating hair multiplication gave up.

    Should I go for a touch up to add density?

    You'll never get the same density from a transplant as your natural hair and combing it back will only accentuate that. Also doing it in two goes (and now possibly a third) is never going to be as good as doing it properly the first time as implanting between existing hairs is more difficult and...

    I really want a hair transplant, but some doctor say i still have hair and it could cause more damage than good, some say it would be fine 1500 grafts

    You've still got reasonable density so it will be difficult to implant between the existing hairs without risk of killing them. I wouldn't risk it in your case...listen to the doctors who tell you NOT to give them money if you know what I mean.

    Body hair transplants. Are they any good ?

    The ones I've seen have not looked that great and if you're a NW6 you'll need multiple surgeries and they are VERY expensive if BHT. Check out Dr Umar he's the only one who seems to have lots of good body hair results.

    I stop minoxidil and I advise who want to start

    They've been saying that since I joined this forum in 2002 so don't hold your breath.

    Get transplants/ Surgery or shave it all off????

    You aren't a candidate for a hair transplant, it'd be almost impossible to get full coverage even with a top surgeon and even if you did you're 100% going to lose more in the future so it'd be pointless. In your position I'd just shave it and look into SMP if you really can't stand the bald look.
