Hi guys - I registered here in 2007, posted again in 2012 and now I'm back in 2021. It's a pleasure to be back amongst friends! (my original story thread: https://www.hairlosstalk.com/interact/threads/advice-please-pictures-included-5-year-update.29121/)
I am strongly considering a transplant to fill in my receded temples. I started losing hair aggressively at 17, and have been on Finasteride since 18, which mercifully has more or less stopped the loss in its tracks since then. I am now 32. have very strong thick hair everywhere else, but fairly receded temples, I think I am NW2. Pics below (lines are what the doctors drew on during consultations):
I was wondering if there is a common consensus and/or highly recommended UK based doctors for this type of transplant work? Hairline restoration on someone with thick, strong hair.
I have had consultations at the Harley Street Hair Clinic and The Private Clinic in London. Both seem OK, but it made me realise there is a lot of nuance and subjectivity in hairline design, and variability in the approaches and results of different doctors/clinics (as you can see from the pics above, totally different design lines). So I am looking for the very best to work on my specific case. I am based in London but happy to travel if needed.
Any tips, advice, recommendations are very welcome! Thank you!
