Assuming financial ability
Hey I have a couple questions.
I'm 17 years old, and I was born with a major widows peak (I have pictures as a child), it sucks.
I was basically born with a NW 1.5-2
Now I'm fairly certain I have receded/thinned some at the temples, I recently started growing facial hair so my DHT levels are likely upping as I enter the last stages of puberty.
I'm likely a NW2 now.
Now assuming adequate financial resources, and of course patience and commitment, I feel this could could be a possibility. But I obviously want others input. This is all theoretical and assumes I have the money necessary to spend upwards of $14000-90000.
First I would start a regimen of RU to maintain hair, or greatly reduce hairloss.
Then at the age of 18, I was originally thinking of going to a highly reputable FUE surgeon, say Rahal, Ferinduni, H&W etc. However then I realized Dr Cole was experimenting with acell, and apparently achieving some degree of success with some 20-60% regrowth in some patients. Now Dr Cole is in the same leagues as the above mentioned doctors. So I would be able to have an FUE and achieve a "normal" hairline with decent density, any regrowth would just be a nice, but unexpected bonus. Now of course I have no real idea, but studying other transplants, to get the density and coverage that I want to redesign my hairline I'd guess about 2000 grafts. Of course this number is likely wrong, and I would need to consult a doctor (which I will at 18). But we can use it as a rough estimation.
Moving on, as time progresses my hair behind my new hairline may or may not recede. Lets say it will, since it likely will.
Lets say I continue to thin and recede. So I book an appointment with Dr Gho, as I still have lets say 5000-6000 grafts remaining. THen a year later, I go to Dr gho and he fills in the receding + thinning areas, perhaps even filling in areas where future recession is likely.
This continues yearly until my balding stops/becomes completely filled in OR a company such as Aderans, Histogen etc comes up with something better.
Therefore, assuming neccessary commitment, patience and financial resources, could I not completely avoid baldness and maintain a youthful hairline (that I never had
) even if I started at a NW7.
Also another question, the hair on my sides and back is a dark blonde, whereas the hair on the top of my head is a light blonde. Now when I was younger I was light blond all over my head, so its is the sides of my head that darkened and not the opposite of dark hair getting lighter on top. Does this potentially mean my hair on top is "weaker" and prone to baldness?
Thanks
and also that feel when at a party the hottest girl runs her hand through your hair cuz its "so soft". she dont know that their likely wont be hair there soon if action is not taken.
