Will try to keep this short and sweet! I’m 34 and have been losing my hair for a good 25 years. After a long, long time, I’ve finally started on fin and regaine, and had several meetings about transplants. Got a consultation with Dr Reddy in London in a couple of weeks to make a final decision. Been advised before that my doner area is ‘decent’ so big decision as not loads to work with. Pics here showing where I’m heavily receded, with 1800 grafts recommended to restore hairline. Wondering if anybody here has had a similar journey, decided to go with the HT... did it work out for you? Any regrets?
Taking the HT plunge... maybe

I had a scar from ear to ear from 4 x HT's in my mid 20s. I'm in my late 30's and like some men the HT didn't work out as I wanted it. Last year I had a trichophytic procedure done to decrease the size of the scar. Unfortunately no previous photos of the scar prior or post trichophytic. Last month out of curiosity I shaved my -
Your case is definitely rather complicated. Aggressive loss that looks like it may advance, and it's been going on for decades. If I were you, I would get at least 3 different opinions of reputable IAHRS surgeons and have them fully evaluate you. You can then compare and contrast their different suggestions and see if there's a particular game plan that multiple surgeons agree upon. Whatever you do, don't rush into this. Keep researching, keep asking questions, and keep an open mind - as there's the possibility that "doing nothing" is the best thing for you to do.
