Nobody is going to lower your hairline that far, every doctor will say no way.

If I keep making progress I will. When regrowth plateaus I really want to be NWO again.

Why is that? I thought the whole point of a HT was to restore your original hairline.

No hair transplant will restore the density of your original hairline. If you find a doctor out there who would drop you hairline that far you should run! The first and most important requirement of being a transplant canidate is to have reasonable expectations. If you dont, then you should learn to live with what you have and/or shave it. To put your hairline where you have drawn it would be highly risky. You still have some decent native hair. Any reputable HT surgeon would more than likely would outline your current hairline and slightly drop the temples, from there it would be about thickening up your thinning areas. I'm not a doctor but I've learned a few things the hard way. In my opinion reasonable expectations and a conservative approach is the best way forward.

I should be able to fill in my existing hairline with treatments. You're telling me once I do, no one will drop my hairline another inch? I'm not going to look good no matter what unless I get my hairline down to where my head begins to curve back sharply. Even when my current hair line thickens up, it's going to look pretty stupid when my forehead goes straight up, and then there's a one inch bald spot that's curved back before my hair begins.

That's really just tough luck. No doctor will ever lower your hairline an inch.

I still don't understand why that is? Why will the lower a norwood 4 three inches, but not a norwood 2 one inch? That inch makes a big difference. It takes me from a 10 to about a 7 or 8.

Because you're going to lose more hair later, even with Propecia and rogaine. There is no cure for hairloss. So once your hairline is lowered an inch you will lose the hair behind it later and look ridiculous. You'll need all the grafts you have just to keep that hair for more than 25 years.
Also nobody with skin that oily is close to a 10 lol. A 10 is a super model.

That makes sense. Once replicel comes out that should all change though, right? Assuming it works the way they say it will.
That's from minox. I've never had acne, even when I went through puberty. Before my hair fell out I looked just like Johnny Depp. I never had any problem getting any girl I wanted, regardless of their relationship status.
