Conflicting analysis from two hair transplant surgeons

[tdo]

Hi Guys,

I am back .

About a month ago I started this thread http://www.baldtruthtalk.com/showthread.php?t=10221 and I concluded that I was not balding. Now I am not so sure.

I had booked an appointed with an IAHRS surgeon back home, but he could not see me during my Thanksgiving break. As a result, I booked an appointed with another hair transplant surgeon, however, he is not an IAHRS surgeon. He did a pretty thorough job asking me about my family history and did a miniaturization test throughout my scalp with a scope. He concluded I did not have any miniaturization.

Today, I went back home and remembered I had an appointment. I figured it was too late to cancel and I didnt want to be rude, so I went ahead and met with the IAHRS surgeon. I explained to him my situation and he proceeded to look at my hair, combing it back and forth. After looking at my crown, he said I slight thinning and miniaturization near my cowlick. I was a little baffled. I really didnt know what to say as I was totally surprised. Is it possible to spot miniaturization without a scope?

I am really torn as to what to do as an IAHRS surgeon's credentials speak for itself....

Here is a pic of what he saw with my hair combed forward. From this view, it does look like I may be thinning on my crown...
