I post
as AdonisNYC in HairSite. I am 29 years old. My hair is
WET in the pictures posted here.
My
Goals
Hairline - I am to consider getting a hair
transplant, the frontal hairline has to be thick and it
definitely can't be V-shaped (as that wasn't my natural
hairline to begin with).
My
original hairline (prior to hairloss) was rather oval
shaped- almost like a straight line in the front. Can
this be done ?
Crown
- Do hair transplant replace hair in the crown (like the
area Rogaine is supposed to regrow)? I really want that
area to be thick again and I have plenty of donor hair
to work with. My general goal is to get the crown area
thick again (growing naturally out of my head) and to
also work on the front over time. Specifically I would
like the crown to get a lot thicker with the hair coming
out toward the sky (if that makes sense) as opposed to
it flapping down due to lack of density. Right now,
there's plenty of hair there but it's sparsely filled
and the hair falls down (whereas when there was a lot of
hair it would grow out naturally and look nice and thick
in that area- almost like Ross' hairdo on the sitcom
"Friends").
Questions:
1) Are my goals realistic ? If not, can you tell me a
more realistic plan for my case?
2) How
many grafts will I need to restore the frontal +
hairline ?
3) How
many grafts will I need to make the crown thick again?
4) Do I
need to schedule different trips ? One trip to do work
on the crown and another trip to do work on the front ?
5) Do you think I would experience permanent shock loss
as a result of the hair transplant? I am most concerned
about this.
6) I am
29 years old. Some of Hairsite visitors said I am too
young and doctors will be reluctant to work on me. Your
thoughts ?
Thank you
in advance for any comments or advice you can give me.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
