Hey all.
I'm 23 years old and I've been on Propecia for 18 months in an attempt to sustain my NW2 hairline. A couple months ago, I scheduled consultations with 2 reputable hair restoration experts to ask questions concerning the long-term consequences of Propecia and to discuss the possibility of a hair restoration procedure in later years.
I was surprised at the doctors' suggestions. The first insisted I'm a valid candidate for such a procedure and suggested a shockingly aggressive hairline similar (though not identical) to a teenage hairline. He didn't ask about my family history and seemed strangely friendly to the idea of giving me a restoration.
The second doctor suggested a minor improvement that would soften the appearance of the hair-loss while keeping a comfortable NW2 hairline that would look good with age. He asked about my family history on both sides of the family and warned me of the risks of a restoration at a young age. He seemed more conservative. I honestly felt more comfortable with this doctor.
I've been investigating hairloss and hair restoration for about 2 years; I know the dangers of performing a hair restoration on a young patient. Despite the results of these consultations, I still insist on delaying the procedure with Propecia and waiting until either the hairloss gets sufficiently bad or until I'm a bit older.
I was surprised that the doctors were even willing to consider a procedure on a young patient. What do you make of these consultations? Are these doctors giving bad advice?
