Hey Guys,
I'm 27, and I've been thinking of having a procedure done for a few years.
I have had a gradually receding hairline for 5 years, and always just combed my hair forward to cover it
It worked well, it was hard to tell I was receding, but my hair is thinning out alot the past year and is not sufficient anymore to cover it
I want to get married this year and look my best dating
Will the surgery dramatically alter my appearance for the next 6 months ?
Do I get the surgery now and hold off on dating for 6+ months
I wouldn't feel comfortable dating with scars or redness
but I'd also be embarassed to date with my receding hairline showing. That's just the way I feel. It's not about the girls, its about me.
I tried propecia for a year but it didnt help.
I will almost surely have the surgery...the question is whether sooner or later.
Also I was wondering... Who is the most highly recommended surgeon in the tri state area ?
I used the chart and estimated I'd need about 2000 transplanted hairs done. Can anyone tell me what the approximate cost would be ?
thanks for your time

what chart did you use to figure out the number of hairs you would require?

where is this chart?

hey, the chart I used is on this site, top left box

actually, its 2000 grafts , not hairs

I just want to add that I want to look my best.
I'm a picky dater and am looking for a very pretty girl...and bottom line is looks matter, so I need to do something about this.
any input would be greatly appreciated

milancafe,

Welcome to our community.

Unless I missed it, I didn't see where you said what state you are in...therefore I couldn't tell you who we recommend in the tri-state area. In the meantime, feel free to use our map feature on our website to find a recommended physician closest to you. Keep in mind that there are recommended physicians and then there are those who are members of our coalition.

guyfromsydney,

I think you are referring to our animated graft calculator. You can also find other animations here.

Best wishes,
