Hi I’m 28 years old and have a fairly big sized forehead, I have tried Finasteride and have gotten side effects. I haven’t used anything else for awhile. My dad is 50 and is probably a NW2.5-3. I want to just thicken my current hairline and bring it down a tad, but I am curious how it will hold up in the long run. How many grafts do you think I would need and would I be okay without Finasteride? Thanks!
Answer: 28 year old male minor hair transplant follicular unit extraction FUE thick hair transplanted hair growth beverly hills hair Hi Fantastic546312, thank you for your question regarding being a 28 year old male and thinking about a possible minor hair transplant and how will this hold up in the long run? First, I think you will be a good candidate for follicular unit extraction (FUE) technique for hair transplantation. With FUE technique, individual hairs are harvested and transplanted individually. I assume you have good hair donor sites. With FUE and good donor hair, 98-100% of the hair grafts survive. You would not need Finasteride post-op. The number of hair grafts you would need will depend on how far you want to bring down your hair line. I would assume you would need between 1000 and 2000 hairs. I hope this helps to answer your question regarding a possible minor hair transplant and how this would hold up in the long run. Good luck. Sincerely, Dr. J. Timothy Katzen

Answer: Good candidate for hair transplant I think you are a good candidate for hair transplant. If the size of your forehead is what is bothering you, you may be a candidate for forehead reduction surgery where the hairline is lowered. And, after the forehead reduction you can still get a hair transplant down the road if you lose more hair as you get older.

Answer: Hairline Transplant Without Finasteride Based on the pictures, it looks like you could be a great candidate for a hair transplant if your goals are realistic and if you understand that you will likely need more transplants as time passes. It looks like you have adequate donor zone and that your hair loss right now is limited to the front and temples. You could also explore topical finasteride and minoxidil. These tend to be effective in preventing further loss.

Answer: I Don't See Why You Shouldn't The possibility of using hair transplant surgery to reduce forehead size relies on various considerations, including the thickness and quality of available donor hair, the degree of hair loss, and the specific objectives you wish to achieve through the procedure.

Answer: Minoxidil The way that hair transplants work is that they are taken from an area in which people do not tend to lose hair (it is a from a separate embryologic origin to the rest of the scalp). So in the long run is that they hold up fine. The problem is that if you continue to lose hair, the transplanted hairs in the area will stay while the rest of your hair may recede further requiring future hair transplants. Have you tried finasteride topical solution? Minoxidil is a great medication as well as it increases the blood supply to the hair follicles which in turn provides a better environment for them to grow. You could try that for now .
