Amazing results for just three years. Just keep your fingers crossed that these results stay over time. This man is now 30 years old.

The loss of 120 lbs can cause any genes for hair loss you have to express more quickly. Don’t mess around with it and see a good doctor who specializes in hair. You need to get it addressed properly as hair loss in men is genetic and progressive. The earlier you treat it, the better.

Advice for a new balding guy! from tressless

You can see (arrows show it) the growth coming out. These hairs will grow longer and longer at a rate of 1/2 inch per month. Good job.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Knowing that you are 30 years old and assuming that your hair is of a medium thickness (not fine or coarse), it would take about 1800 grafts to fill in this area. More if it were fine, less if it was coarse. The crown is where the hair changes direction, so a good swirl needs to be created which takes more grafts. Thank you for putting your fingers in the photo so it give me a good way to estimate the size of the balding area

The donor area has been significantly impacted by FUE, suggesting that your original donor density was significantly less than what the number of FUE grafts could have supported. Your doctor should have measured your donor area density prior to doing FUE. The limits on FUE is related to your donor density, otherwise it produces significant scarring as this photo shows. If the donor area remains see-through, you should get Scalp Micropigmentation to fill in the missing spaces.

Recently I’ve started to notice my hairline thinning (I guess its about time at 30 years old) but not receding. Its by no means bad, and the top, back, sides of my head are still thick. Having done research on typical alternatives, it seems to take fin for just hairline thinning and no recession might be overkill. I could use minoxidil but applying it 2 times a day for the rest of my life is a pain. Is the solution for those of us with a thinning hairline, but not receding, and OK everywhere else (hopefully…!) a hair transplant?

If you are in or near Southern California, visit me. Topical finasteride might be a reasonable solution, provided we are sure that you are not balding elsewhere on your head. That is why I would perform a HAIR CHECK test ( https://baldingblog.com/haircheck-test-how-it-is-done-and-what-its-value/ ) first to make sure that there is no undetectable balding elsewhere.

You have obvious thinning. With the failures of PRP to effectively treat your hair loss and assuming that you have been fully evaluated for hormone and other deficiencies, you might want to consider Scalp Micropigmentation, which is an excellent cosmetic treatment for this condition.

When your original donor density is lower than average, 3000 grafts can be too many grafts harvested through FUE and this causes donor site depletion such that the donor area has a problem with a see-through look. The doctor should have measured your donor density before pushing large numbers of FUE grafts. For some people with very low donor densities, 2000 grafts could cause donor site depletion. It seems that in this situation, the surgeon could not get the entire 3000 grafts from the permanent zone, so the surgeon moved outside the permanent zone into the neck (which is not permanent hair) and possibly also above the permanent zone into another area that may sooner or later may bald. The only treatment for this is scalp micropigmentation, something we do all of the time. https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/ This technique can make your donor area LOOK normal but it will not put more hair there

The photos tell the story. He maintained and even improved the hairline over the 3 years on the drug finasteride
