Hey guys, I’ve been reading these boards and posts for approx 5-6 years now. Very rarely post myself but felt it necessary to do one now. I changed my user name as it had my last name in it - for the sake of anonymity. Here’s my background.
I’m currently 35 years old. I’ve always had a high forehead and thin hair. At 28, I decided to start using propecia and rogaine. It helped me for a few years but then when I turned 33 my hair started to recede again. I believe propecia lost it’s effectiveness and this was causing me to recede faster than I previously did. I just switched to Dutasteride approx 4 months ago thinking it may be the boost I need. Currently, I use Dutasteride and Rogaine foam.
Anyway, I finally decided to get hair transplants. I did my research and settled on Dr Armani. I felt he was one of the best doctors available and scheduled my surgery for 7/4(happy 4th to me).
I felt like I needed to have the procedure done to maintain my sanity. I was very self-conscious about my hair and hated to go out in public. Some people may call me vain for having this done but I just want to function normally and be able to go outside and not worry if people think I’m balding. Regardless, I’m scared to death about it and wanted to post some pics and advice for those who need it. Trust me, I hate going to the doctors and this is a big step for me - FUE for 1280 transplant hairs. My stomach is soo queasy thinking about it and the surgery is still a week away. My goal is to fill my hairline and the most important thing is to have it look natural. I’m praying the surgery will be successful and there are no issues.
For now, I’m going to post some before pics. I shaved my head down last week to prepare for the surgery. Normally I wear it a little longer.
I’ll keep you updated on results, expectations, treatment, etc. Also check back regularly for responses.
