Another update.
I had mailed my pics to H&W and they said that it seems i would be progressing to nw7 and so doing an hair transplant rite now is not a good idea. I should try taking finpecia at least one or twice a week to help. After my hairloss has stabilized I should contact them again.
I met Dr. Feller as well. He suggested that I should get a strip hair transplant done for about 1200 grafts. He said I should target the front left to the middle portion of my scalp first as that would help me the most visually since its the direction i generally comb my hair in. Also using a small no of grafts will help me save more for the future hairloss.
He said that I should only consider a small no of grafts right now because one i dont need a lot to improve the visual appearance and second because we don't know how exactly my hairloss will progress. The most different response compared to other docs was wen i spoke to him about finpecia. He didn't ask me if I was using finpecia and he said he doesn't take that into consideration when planing a hair transplant as you never know for how long the patient would take finasteride or how long finasteride would work for a patient.
When i asked him about strip vs fue he said that I should go in for strip as I will have future hairloss and fue would just not cut it. It'll be more exp and I will get less donors. He also showed me his strip scars and told me that for him cost was not an issue but he still went with strip because strip was the right procedure in his case.
The summar so far is
1. Dr. Arvind poswal - 5000 grafts
2. Dr. Shapiro - 2200-2500 grafts .. strip procedure
3. Dr. Cole - 1200-1500 grafts .... fue procedure
4. Dr. H&W - no hair transplant right now
5. Dr. Feller - 1200 grafts ... strip procedure
So what do you guys think??
