Yes definitely, back in 07 I would've not accepted anything less than a teenage hairline and density, I could've easily gone for 3,500-4,000 graft hairline procedure, just thinking about it makes me sick, that's why I try hard to dissuade anyone in their early 20's from getting such an aggressive procedure even with finasteride. I can definitely appreciate my head of hair now.
I'm Norwood 6 - is it foolish to go for HT if I may one day be Norwood 7?

I can relate to you, even if just loosely. When I was 25 I had just first realized I was in fact balding (after some time of being unsure, but concerned with the idea) and was considering a frontal hairline restoration with Bosely because I did not know any better years ago. I had always had a high hairline to begin with and with the fact i was slowly losing hair it prompted me to want to take preemptive action. I am very glad I did not because I was not even on Finasteride at the time and I had nowhere near the knowledge about the topic I do now. I probably would have gotten a mediocre result and suffered shock loss with out an anti-androgen class drug to safeguard the native hairs in the recipient site (tons of native). I also think I can do a lot better with surgeon selection than anyone tied to Bosley. They were what was popular and they were what I heard of, so I consulted with them. I do not know what prevented me from taking the plunge, but I am very glad I waited until AFTER I have 5 years of personal Finasteride response data at my disposal, not to mention 5 more years to judge the aggressiveness or propensity towards going bald. 25 is a bit too young to get a fully accurate assessment of where you may be headed in many cases (not all). I am glad I waited. Sitting here a Norwood 2.5, at age 32 with native scalp untouched and with a great 5 and half years of stability from Finasteride makes me a lot more comfortable going in any direction in treating my loss. Oh plus I can go to Hasson and Wong instead of f*ckin Bosley now that I did my homework! (specifically Dr Jerry Wong, as he did Jotronic's hair and he's one of the few recommended by the original transplant mentor).Comment

After gathering these things, I also took the time to start my own thread with the same idea in mind. If you could comment on my thread I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, sir.
