I had lost almost 70% of my hair at 23 so went for a hair transplant for the hair line.so now I want to ask is should I go for another session for my crown and mid scalp? I am also on propecia and rogaine for 2 years? Is my pattern stable?
Answer: Real Did your first surgery meet your expectations? You have had surgery, you should know what to expect. You're not a novice anymore. The decision to have a second surgery is up to you and understanding what your doctor can provide. Don't rely on others to make a decision for you.

Answer: Consider PRP Option 1) Wait a few years before another transplantation and stick religiously with Propecia and Rogaine, 2) Hair transplantation (conservative) 3) PRP (platelet rich plasma).Option 3 may be reasonable because you are still relatively young. PRP contains growth factors and other elements to restore injured tissue (and presumably injured follicles from DHT). It is injected or rolled into the scalp.

Answer: Hair loss for crown - wait! Seek out 4 or 5 opinions and you'll likely (hopefully) hear a consensus: wait until the mid 30s before addressing the crown with surgery. The mid scalp could be addressed earlier with a conservative number of grafts. Men with early hair loss need to plan for more hair loss - and keep in mind the possibility of advanced hair loss patterns as well as limited donor hair. It may look like you have alot of good quality donor hair, but young men should plan for well under 5000 grafts available to move. Making sure there's appropriate amount for the front is key. The crown quickly uses up massive amounts of graftsA small (very conservative session) in the mid scalp could be done. But medical options (minoxidil, finasteride, laser and PRP) are essential to figure out if you want to use them as part of your overall plan.

Answer: Second transplant This would depend on the donor area which we cannot really see from the pictures but likely is good. You should be doing all of the "medical" therapies as well 1)minoxidil twice daily 2) propecia 3) laser 4) supplements. Lastly, I would consider PRP injections for someone your age and hair loss pattern

Answer: At 25 wants a second hair transplant Stability never happens in a 25 year old but if you stay on Propecia, you will be as stable as you can be. Many people do the front first and then follow-up with the top and crown in a second session. Be sure to stay on Propecia for the rest of your life.
