someone give me some support/advice

[greatjob!]

I wish I could get some pics on here but my computer screen is broken and I'm having to use my smartphone. But after looking at the NW again, I've pretty much determined that I'm slightly less if not exactly a NW 2. But this scale doesn't seem to account for unique hairline and head shapes so its tough to tell exactly. Also, the density around the front is worse than the NW would show.

Believe it or not, I have done some hard research and I believe 1500 grafts would put me back to my youthful hairline. I also know its not as much about getting that hairline back as it is giving the appearance of a full head of hair.

I know finasteride could be crucial to stopping further hairloss, but I'm still extremely reluctant to take it. I just don't need more complications to my life and it seems like finasteride resolves a key issues in ones life, but it comes at the cost of other key parts of life (I.e. reproductive/mental health). But I'll discuss this with my doctor.

As far as the surgeon I picked out, yes he is the closest one to me, but I think he will do just fine.

Planting an aggressive juvenile hairline at 22 is a huge mistake. Any doctor that would agree to do so has questionable ethics in my opinion. With you losing hair at such a young age you are more than likely going to lose a lot more in the future, and I promise you one thing, if you plant an aggressive hairline now you will not have the donor to keep up with the loss. Then you'll end up with a terrible head of hair and not have the ability to shave down.

Also if you are a NW 2 or less, you have a full head of hair, and if you are so concerned about it that you can't leave the house without a hat, you have some other issues that a hair transplant isn't going to fix. You came on here asking for advice, but what you really want is for us to confirm your decision and tell you that you're right, however every person here has told you the complete opposite and for good reason. At your age you are very immature and short sided, you can't see past next week let alone 10-20 years into the future. If you head down this path without proper planning, which you clearly are not doing, you will end up in a very bad place. All of this is irrelevant since your mind is made up, I only hope your mom reads this so she doesn't give you the money. Anyways good luck to you, I hope you win the lottery and this all works out for you.
