Considering doing a HT in the future.
Cant really hide my hairloss much longer, toppik being the saviour for the time being.
Going to shave it and get tricopigmentation done within a few months. Its the same as Scalp micropigmentation except its temporary, so if i look like an ididot im not stuck with a hair tatoo for the rest of my life. Its supposed to last for 6-18 months. Researching it more now.
Has anyone done it before, alone or in conjunction with a HT?

I'd never have it done, but out of curiosity... if guys are beyond the NW scale, what 'hope' is there for them. Because there really isn't enough hair on them to transplant.

they can use your body hair for transplanting lol. but if that isnt an option, you could get the hair fiber implants which would cost a fortune for a full head. They are Italian made I beleive

Its a shame we cant hide away for 6 months until our hair grows back so nobody knows we had a procedure.

It’s worth it every penny. You will only look like a weirdo for the first few weeks. If you are on a budget like was, consider your HT in Turkey. Best investment in my life. You will get a lot of self-confidence in return.

Not really the best idea. Some people just can't sport a shaved head ie light skin people blonde / red hair. I have a buddy who shaves his head and he has deep eye sockets, so he looks like Deadpool and like he's been in chemotherapy for 10 years. The ultimate solution is a transplant.
I've never shaved my head, but I'm pretty well certain it wouldn't be a good look. I have a very large head, and I can feel ridges in my scalp that would look funny if it were shaved. My hairline has receded from a Norwood 2 to a mild Norwood 3 in recent years. I think TRT may have exacerbated this.
If it goes any farther, I would consider hair transplants. Either that or I'd just accept the Norwood 3 look. I don't expect to have a bald spot at the top back of my head, but I can see how the corners at the top of my forehead could keep going farther and farther back in the next 10-15 years.
I think if I start getting an extreme Norwood 3 look, I am very likely to get transplants.

What are thoughts on people on a 40 year old having a HT who is only a Norwood II? (i.e. just getting the hairline restored around 5 - 10mm at the peaks, as well as some infill to ideally do me for life).
I currently use Toppix in my peaks, and it improves things a fair bit and makes me feel better about it.
I was quoted 1,500 grafts from Dr Path in Thailand, which is around $6.5k AUD ($5K USD). He said the thinning patient (as opposed to the fully bald) is more difficult, and I will go through a period of shock loss (looking worse before it gets better).
Even though I'm only a Norwood II, many guys say they think it unnecessary, although I think I'll feel better for it. I imagine it'll shave another few years off my (already younger than average) look.

The main thing I'd be concerned about is the hairline continuing to recede behind the grafted hairline... not a good look, especially if you decide that you've had enough fucking about with transplants and drugs then decide to shave. Transplants will be obvious on a shaved head because as much as people think bald is bald, it isn't. There are noticeable details like follicles and texture especially between shaves!

Yes, I’ve seen this and it looks awful.
I’m hope a couple of things should avoid that. First, that I’m already 40, so I should have experienced most of my loss.
Second, if the Dr blends it back into my scalp more. And finally, I’ll have to get another HT if those fail. Maybe something will be better out in 10 years.

Norwood II just looks like an attractive man's hairline. It's really not worth the risk of messing up and wouldn't look bad or receding in anyone's head but your own I'd say.

Area 2 is where prospecia and to a lesser extent rogaine come into play
You hit the thinning area with meds and you either stop it from falling out or (if you’re lucky) you get some lost hair back over time

Not getting a transplant.
The scarring on both fue and fut are not good. Plus, even if you had one transplant then you will need another to cover the future hair loss. And you will get future hair loss as most people have reported a loss of efficacy with avo and finasteride with ten to fifteen years.
You basically commit to the hair transplant route forever and almost guarantee the need for a second (and you will pillage your donor area).
The only hope for these guys who do get a transplant and look good for ten years (which they do) is that there will be a perma cure for baldness by then.

Excuse my ignorance. But that shit leaves scars in the back of your head. which means your forced to grow the back of your hair look if you keep the length at a number 2 for example, a clean cut... you will see lots of scars.i think the receeding hairline will look better at that point... do you have pictures of the back of your head where the scars were left?
There is no denying the results look real and are good..
what scares me are the scars in the back of the head where they remove your own hair... you never can have short hair again or the scars will be very visible... and look like you had brain surgery

I am 25 years old and my hairline was destroying what little confidence I had.
Well after some consideration, I went to India and got a transplant to fix my gay hairline. It has been 2 months since the surgery and I will post progress pictures in the future, as Im still in the ugly AF phase.
The cost was 30 rupees/graft and I ended up paying ~1100 CAD for 2000 grafts lol. Even with a flight ticket, you would be paying 1/3 to 1/4 of what you would pay in a Western country.
Dont @ me about "but my western quality" healthcare, there are levels to healthcare in a 3rd world country.
The clinic I went to was probably an 8/10 and only cause I would say a 10/10 is somewhere the Indian elites would go to.
The surgery itself was painless, except for when they were injecting the anesthesia and It lasted about 7 hours with a lunch break in the middle.
If youre looking for a place to go for high quality cosmetic procedures for a great price, DM me and Ill give you name of this clinic.
