Hello, first time poster, long term lurker here. A quick summary of my situation:
24 years old (due to turn 25 this month), been losing my hair since around 18, currently an NW3 with thinning in the frontal area, been on finasteride and minoxidil since i was 19, been researching transplants for a number of years. I currently shave my head regularly with a razor - the look actually suits me pretty well but i cannot deny that it bothers me being completely bald at my age. Like everyone who loses their hair - I really miss it.
I have decided that if i can sort out the funds I would like to try to get an FUE procedure at the end of this year with Dr ******** in Belgium. I understand that I am very young to be doing this but i have very conservative goals - ideally, i'd like to aim for a strong NW2/NW2.5 hairline and to strengthen my frontal area. I think this could be done with approx 2500 grafts and would leave plenty in reserve for future procedures.
I recently let my hair grow out for a couple of days and managed to get some photos. I would appreciate any comments or opinions on where I stand at the moment and what you all think of my aims/goals, thanks!
