I post
as AMS99 in HairSite. I'm 25 and have been thinning at
the crown for the past four or five years.
I've
been on proscar 1.25mg and 2x minox for the past two
years, and that has seemed to slow down but not stop the
thinning on the crown. I have mpb in the family, but
although my 29 year old brother has some signs of a
little diffused thinning and temple loss, his hairloss
is only noticeable to those actually looking for signs
of mpb and he has a perfectly dense and thick crown. My
father also had a nice thick full head of hair up until
his 40s. At 61 he has diffused thinning all over the
top, but it looks very natural for his age and he still
has a hairline, although it's receded.
As you
can see in the photos, I have plenty of chest
hairs. They actually grown over 2 inches long normally,
but I usually trim my chest down to an inch long. If
you need anymore info, feel free to ask.
My
Goals
Hairline - I am happy with my hairline and front
right now so I do not need any work there.
Crown
- I have diffused thinning all over, but for the most
part it's fairly thick in the front and very thin in the
crown area. I contacted another clinic saying I wanted
to get crown work done, and even was willing to use my
body hair for the procedure, and they replied saying I
did not need work at the moment. Am I going to get this
reply from every doctor??? I REALLY would like to see a
nice thick crown on my head once again to match the rest
of my hair. is this ever going to be possible, or am I
at a loss?
Questions
1. Will
you be able to fix my crown and make it thick again?
2.
Approximately how many grafts will I need to make the
crown thick like the rest of my hair ?
3. Will
shock fallout be a risk for my case ?
4. Can I
get my crown fixed in 1 session ?
5. Do you
recommend I use body hair instead of scalp hair as donor
to fix the crown? I prefer to use my SCALP hair as
donor but I will not oppose to mixing body and scalp
hair if necessary.
6. Any
reasons why I should not consider getting a hair
transplant to fix my crown ?
Any
comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you
