Asked By:rick03912 in Wildersville, Tennessee

I have a receding hairline and I'm 25. From what I can tell at this point a hair transplant would only get me to norwood 2, could I reasonably use a hair transplant in combination with a scalp advancement surgery to achieve norwood 1? I've read that scalp advancement surgery isn't a good idea for men with receding hairlines although i'm not sure why.
