Dear all,
Thanks for a great forum with some fantastic members, who help people, like me and others, not to jump in the trap of visiting the local doctor with no skills, but good marketing.
My Story:
- 36 yrs old. Started loosing my hair in my 20's and in early 30's I started to have an "island" of hair in the front (see pictures) and some thinning on my crown and top
- Family with loss patern of NW3-4 but no real thinning in the crown area even in the 60's
- The pictures are 10 months old (sorry for that will get them updated) which means they are just before I started taking proscar (1.25 per day) + rogaine once a day both without sideeffects - this has helped a lot on my thinning on crown and top. Black full line is my goal of a nice but still somewhat conservative hair line
- Have researched a lot and started with FUE (thats the dotted line in pics) and now I am quite sure I want strip
- I work in a suit and tie - 12 hours a day in the corporate world in Europe
- I want a nice hairline, but still conservatively so it will last a life time - and I need to be able to buzz to minimum a #3 like in the pictures
- This summer i buzzed the entire head down to #2, some people liked it, I was not a great fan and therefore would prefer to have a hairstyle like in the pictures - just looking good
I have narrowed it down to following top strip doctors:
Rahal, H&W (Hasson) or Feller.
I like all their hairlines and styles and we are now down to the small details - maybe at this point prefer Rahal's scars, H&W's consistency and guarantees and Feller's convenient location and attitude - so far so good...
My Questions:
1) Do you think I am a good candidate, from the pictures in terms of goal, hairloss pattern, medication, worried about the scar and how short I can buzz it down post ops
2) How many grafts do you think, I will need to go to my goal of the full black line? - I will not have work done on the top or crown
3) How good are the chances, that I would be able to buzz down to #2-#3 after a HT from above guys?
4) Is it possible to keep the ear to ear strip scar mainly in the back so only till 1 cm before the ears on each side - and not "pass the ears on the side"?
5) Which doctor would you recommend, especially I would be happy to hear from someone, who has had their HT with any of the above
6) Knowing that I lost more hair and regained it - of course i am worried that proscar stops to work - what is the risk of that?
7) If proscar should stop working in 10 years, and I would start loosing hair again and recede 3 cm behind my HT hair lines (same as my farther's hair loss) - how many grafts more would I probably need - 3-4000 grafts more?
8) How many total grafts would a guy like me have in my donor area - 10.000?
9) I can only take out 2.5 weeks of holiday for the travel and procedure and down time - will I be able with topik or special hairstyle to keep it a secret for everyone except my wife?
Again thanks for a great forum and thanks in advance for everyone's time.
Have a nice weekend.
