Doctor:
I am 20 years
old. I would say I am a Norwood IIIa except I also have a
little thinning in the back/top. When I shave my head and
watch it grow back, it looks like I can see the horseshoe
pattern, but there is still hair covering the middle (it's
just a little thin). I also noticed what appeared to be a
small bald spot around my cowlick when I was 18, and my hair
looked just slightly odd in the back. My hairline has gone
from good to terrible in approximately 3 years (between the
ages of 17 and 20). I think the back part has been going a
little slower. Overall, though, I think Norwood 3a is the
closest match.
My hair is
buzzed in these pictures. It looks a lot worse when it isn't
buzzed because the front part doesn't get much longer than
it is in these pictures,
but the rest keeps growing.
My questions:
1) Based on
the photos, can you tell me how many FUE grafts I need?
2) Can the
entire procedure be done in one session?
3) Do you
think if I need to worry about permanent shock fallout as a
result of the procedure?
4) What is the
approximate cost for the entire procedure (FUE) ?
5) I realize
that most doctors would say I am too young for a hair
transplant. However, I have tried many hair loss products in
the past 2-3 years and nothing really helped. It is unlikely
Propecia, Rogaine and any other products will regrow my
hair. That's why I am looking into hair transplant as an
option. If for whatever reasons you feel that I am NOT a
candidate for hair transplant, could you please provide an
explanation?
Thank you for
your time.
