    Default Photos from January to 16 November

    Hello and thank you a lot for your time

    I would like to take your opinions about my hairline

    I have a strange v shaped hariline and i want your opinions about my hairline from January and Today

    Is this Receding? Or a normal Widow's peak?

    The first two photos from January, the orthers from today

    I have already visited two doctors. The first told me that this is widow's peak and everything is ok. The second said that i'm going to be bald :P

    Thank you a lot

    I don't see a huge change/difference in those photos, and it looks to me like you just have a more distinct, mature hairline - which honestly looks like it works for you.

    It's interesting that you got two completely different responses from the doctors you've seen. The density at your hairline seems very good, which is what leads me to believe that this is just your natural hairline. If it were MPB, I would expect to see lower density starting at the hairline and working it's way back. That said, I would keep monitoring it every couple of months or so to see if it keeps changing.

    I would also consider looking into getting a consultation with a third doctor, preferably a surgeon who deals specifically with hair restoration. They will be able to check the miniaturization levels of your hair which can give you a pretty definitive answer as to whether or not you're experiencing MPB or not. Out of curiosity, did either of the doctors you saw perform this? And were these doctors general physicians, or do they specialize in hair loss? If neither of them were specialists in this field, I would look into meeting with one who is if nothing else for your peace of mind.

    Thank you so much for your time!

    I'm from Greece, and I visited a doctor and i think he used a machine to make trichoscopy and he said that i have a lot of density

    The other doctor didn't use anything(he used only his hand LOL)and he said that this is not mature hairline, this is MPB and he gave me a photo with Noorwood Scale

    Is trichoscopy enough??

    I hope, i will not have problem with receding crown :P

    Personally I think it is androgen alopecia. And it is probably a Norwood three at least. Finasteride and Minoxidil combined are probably your best bet.

    Generally speaking, the distance from your nostrils to your chin should be the same from top of nose to hairline, plus or minus a few centimeters.

    The hairline looks like mine. And mine is very receded.

    Maybe you are true. So, i express some more photos(from Today).

    I have cut my hair very short, so maybe it seems that there is problem on the crown.

    I don't know if this is balding or something like mature

    Thank you a lot!
