Conflicting analysis from two hair transplant surgeons

[mattj]

That's a tough question because I don't know which doctor is mistaken. I would expect that a doctor using magnification would be able to give a definitive answer, but the other doctor is unlikely to say that you have miniaturization if you don't. But put it this way: as it looks like you have slight thinning it wouldn't surprise me if you had miniaturization.

I suggest just monitoring the area and every month or so take photos in the same location with the same light.
