Alright guys, brief history on my story.
People have commented on my receding temples since I was 15. I became concerned around the age of 20-21 when I notice my hairline & temples thinning out a bit. I was able to style my hair normally up until about 2 years ago, but lately I've been living life under the cap. Its not my best look so I'm finally gonna go under the knife and change that! =]
Honestly, when I noticed the hairs falling out or my hairline I went into panic mode and was scared tot death I'd be bald in a couple years time. Well here I am almost 7 years later and finally ready to "take the plunge".
I did many online consultations with various top docs @ the age 22. All but one [Armani , go figure] said hair loss was too minimal & check back in a few years.
In terms of loss, I think my hair has held up decently well. I took propecia for less than a year but noticed I was still losing some hair so I figured it wasn't working so I quit it... My hair isn't super dense but I think it has above average diameter thickness so hopefully I get god coverage. I'm scheduled for 2500-3000 grafts with Dr. Hasson next month and hopefully that will be the beginning of the end of me worry about stupid hair loss, at least for a few years..
I'm currently 27. No balding on my moms side and my dad was nw3-4 ish around the age of 40. Hopefully I can hang onto what I have with meds [I'm gonna start a regiment after the transplant]
anyway, here a are a couple pics to show my current state. The plans is to lower the hairline about a cm, fill in the temples, and reinforce throughout the hairline
These first couple pics are with flash
This second group is no flash
this pic shows my hair at its absolute worst
