    Here's a thread about my procedure, and the last page has some recent (but not great) pics.

    I'll caveat my results by admitting that I did something stupid; I had a hairline transplant at a young age (under 30) without taking Propecia. It's pretty well established that young guys with active balding at the hairline and the most susceptible to shock loss, and I had a large amount. Shock loss sometimes recovers, but if the hair was on its way out, it's gone for good. I definitely developed thinness in my frontal area after the procedure that has not resolved, and I don't think it will; simply put, I think the procedure shocked out a large amount of hair that was due to come out in the approaching years. So I got something of a tradeoff: a lower hairline, but a thinner frontal area. Dr. Rassman and others have documented that being on Propecia before a procedure helps protect against shock loss, so I was stupid not to get on the drug for at least a few months beforehand. I'm still very happy with my results so far, and the thinness is mild enough that no one notices it, but I'd like it thickened.

    Wow.

    Your photos look great.

    I am confused. You want MORE density? Your hair looks perfect the way it is right now.

    Well, thanks. They're not very good pictures; there's some thinness that bugs me, particularly at the tip of the widow's peak. I really don't think I need much added; roughly 800 grafts. Hence why I'm thinking about FUE.

    I have to say I think your growth looks great too! But if you want more density, I say go for it. I'm looking into a first time surgery so I think I want FUE right off the bat.

    Canada, Belgium and US in the order you have listed. Suggest you do loads of research. Location of the docs are way down on that list...

    Yeah I agree - research is key. If you're not researching you're not ready for a transplant.

    I am surprised no one has mentioned Dr. Cole for FUE.

    People had recommended him when I had asked a similar question on the forums some time back. Also, he uses ACell with FUE which has some benefits.
