Thinning at 18, surgery at 23
Hi all,
I started losing my hair late during my senior year of high school. I knew this day would come, as my father, both of my grandfathers, and 5/7 of my uncles all suffered from hair loss. I was able to mask it fairly well for a couple of years, but it caught up with me.
I attribute alot of my hair loss due to the following factors:
-heavy genetic influence
-poor sleep patterns
-high stress
-poor adherence to medications
It progressed enough that I started shaving my hair at 20. I tried a few OTC meds here and there, but nothing seemed to work too well, or rather quickly enough. My head was shaved up until 7 months about ago, when I decided to undergo a hair transplant. I searched online for reviews on local doctors and decided that Dr. Epstein could provide the results I wanted.
I met with Dr. Epstein in early Jan 2009 and was impressed with both his team and his patient's results. After much thought, I jumped in and scheduled my appointment for mid June.
I ended up going in to surgery Friday June 6th. The goal was 2700 grafts. Here are some pictures directly before the procedure.
