Dr. Gho is willing to restore my NW1.5-NW2

[FearTheLoss]

I sent him pictures as well as my intention to try & keep my hairline at the level it currently is. Considering there is alleged donor regeneration, I am hoping that I can keep getting treatment every 9-12 months to replace lost hair. I am 23. I also do not take finasteride, which I mentioned to them. I've taken it once before with side effects that I couldn't stand. I tend to be very sensitive to anything that modifies my hormones.

His team got back to me saying that they could do 800-1000 grafts on my hairline.

I took a shot at it, thinking that Dr. Gho and basically any other doctor would turn me around. Is it weird that he is willing to do the procedure? I will seriously consider it, if I have enough donor to do so, up to 80% of the donor regenerates, there is no scarring, and it hold me out until new treatments in the next 5-6 years.

We should have new treatments in less than 5 years. I would say on the market in 3, black market in 2. Also, post some pictures of your hair.

I think HASCI is willing to operate on you because you aren't receding and don't have MPB. You aren't even close to a NW2.

[FearTheLoss]

dude you have no ****ing hairloss. get off the forums and go live your life.

[Pentarou]

WTF? That guy is like Norwood 1.

I don't think so. My hairline has receded over the past 2 years... I used to have a completely straight hairline, not a V.

[cocacola]

you dont have hairloss, be happy about it and enjoy life

You don't think I'm at the very beginning stages?

You are just getting a mature hairline, every adults hairline recedes through life. This is not MPB

Even though baldness runs on BOTH sides of my family? Mother side = like a NW7, not sure how fast. Fathers side = NW3-4(A) very slowly

What I see happening is the formation of what is called a "mature hairline." Very few men, even those without male pattern baldness keep their exact juvenile hairline, making you look more like a man and less like a boy.

For example, Jon Hamm has a textbook "mature hairline".



Basically some very mild hairloss at the temples and front of the hairline. They key difference between a mature hairline and MPB is that the angles of the temples are very tight, versus MPB which looks more like this:

textbook norwood 2:


Notice how the angle of the temples is much softer and the recession kind of bows inwards towards the middle of his head? That's MPB

None of us are doctors, nor do we know your family history, nor can we predict the future. I, however, would be shocked if your hairline receded more than a few centimeters more over the next 60 years of your life.
