I'll save you the long-winded story and just present the facts.
- Age 37, NW 2, hairline a bit choppy (see explanation below), otherwise very good head of hair with no detectible loss
- family history mixed, no slick baldies, brother, uncles, and cousins all have perfect hair, dad is thin on top but with no crown recession, one grandpa had good hair, another had very receded hairline
- been OFF finasteride and minox for four years due to a neurological problem, have seen minor thinning in the hairline over that period but nothing on the top or back of the head (*knock on wood*)
- getting PRP treatments with Dr Greco every six months, using laser therapy 3 times per week, and also some natural stuff - don't know if it's working but my hair looks pretty good and loss is very slow right now
- got roped into a bad HT when I was a kid when my hairline matured, looked bad as I got older, had Dr. Feller and Dr Cole remove the hairline grafts via FUE punch over several sessions a couple years ago
So, after my HT reversal, I look pretty good considering everything, but my hairline is a little choppy and seems to be very slowly thinning. There is also a little bit of white scarring which doesn't look terrible but may become more evident if I continue to recede. So, I am thinking of getting a small procedure to refine my hairline, but have always felt like doing any HT surgery without finasteride was a bad idea. I wouldn't have even considered it 10 years ago, but given my age and my rate of loss, I'm thinking maybe I should just go for it.
Any thoughts or opinions?
