So here is my story guys. I will try to make it short as possible. I have been losing my hair since I was 20 years old(1997). I started on propecia and used it up till 2005. Since 2005 I have been on Dudasteride and Rogaine combined for the last 5 years.
I will post pictures that I took in 2005 and pictures that I just took today for comparisons. I know that Propecia, Dudasteride, and Rogaine have really helped me contain my hair loss but now I want back my temples. I will be getting a consultation with Dr. Umar and Dr. Feller sometime soon and would like your input on about how many grafts it will take to fill in my temples to satisfactory condition.
I have two major fears...first one is since hair loss is progressive should I have to wait any longer or just go for the hair transplant. Since Dudasteride and Rogaine is working(just not as effective as before) and I am 34 years old now and a Norwood 3. How much worse can my hairloss be in the future. Is there a test for future hairloss available?
2nd fear is since I am asian and dont heal from surgery well...I sometimes develop bad scars from skin trauma. I have two keloids on my chest from pimples when I was young. Should I be concerned about scarring after FUE. Has anyone you know not healed well from the FUE procedures? I have been reading this board for the past 5 years and it has really educated on the hairloss. Thanks again.
