is it true that diffuse thinning is the worst form of baldness ?
i heard that it very difficult to get implants when you are a diffuse thinner because of "shock loss" or something like this (don't remember exactly)
is this true ?

It depends, the diffuse form is usually very aggressive you reach the last stage of hair loss quickly. It will not be difficult for me to have a HT as I'm already completely bald at 23.

If the diffuse thinning includes the donor area that often would make the patient not a very good candidate for hair transplantation surgery.

Diffuse thinning really sucks. I'm a diffuse thinner and have been balding for almost a year and most of my top hair is gone. Isn't that crazy?
-
How did you guys first realize that you were diffuse thinners? Also, what are your family histories concerning mpb?
My fear is that I wouldn't realize I was one until it was too late.
I've also heard that diffuse thinners respond best to propecia.

If it really does progress as fast as you guys say, I'm not gonna risk it and just hop on propecia...

i thought that mpb only affected the hairs on the top of the head ?is there people who become completely bald ? it must be very rare
what if the diffuse thinning affect only the top of the head ? is it possible to get implants to restore some density ?

my dad is diffuse thinner, i didn't realize i have mpb until 23 because i believed in this myth that you only get mpb from mother side and thought that the massive shedding was due to anxiety
all the hairs on the top of my head are thinnig, i can see my scalp through the hairs
