Asked By:JCHAN54 in California, Maryland

Is it too early for me to have a ht? Id like to have it thicker in the hairline and frontal area but worry that permanent shock loss could occur in the native hairs since they will eventually fall out anyways. The surgeon I saw said it can be done. My father's a level 5, I'm 27, use saw palmetto 320mg, 5% minoxidil once daily. The area I want to thicken is in red and is about 50 cm. Hair looks thicker since I just washed it.I know it is hard to judge from the pictures.i appreciate your help.
