OMNIBUS -

I appreciate that you are asking for feedback on Dr Umar and not your overall situation. I have heard mixed reviews about his work but I understand he is a decent sort of guy. At least he was honest about the prospect of future loss. At the risk of annoyance however, I feel a word of caution is prudent:

Hair loss (even at a minimal level) at 21 does not bode well for future
Norwood prognoses. I respect your decision not to use Propecia, but currently there is no other way to effectively treat MPB on a singular level. You need to be extremely careful with your chosen course of action. At best it is highly risky for a multitude of reasons. Presently, hair transplantation is a supply and demand game. If you progress to a high Norwood classification, you won't have enough donor hair to catch up with the loss and may eventually end up in a dire straits.

Please take these comments as they were intended as I mean no disrespect. I genuinely wish you the best with whatever your next step is but you should be looking before you leap!
