I'm Norwood 6 - is it foolish to go for HT if I may one day be Norwood 7?

Imagine if you had that hair transplant back in 07. Not only did you save yourself future potential heartache, you can appreciate what you've gained back through hair restoration more now that you've crossed over and back again.

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.

HTsoon,

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).

Sure, hit me up at my website below. Send me photos, your family hair loss history, and any information you've received from various clinics.

Joe, I have uploaded my photos, family history, and clinical information to your website.

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.
