Hello,
After receding noticeably on my front for around a year now I decided to take further action after browsing this forum. I m 28, I have been on Procepia for around 6 months which has thickened my crown and (touch wood) has not caused me any side effects so far so I would say this is working. I stopped for a few weeks as I ran out and was on holiday and my crown started to thin quickly. this seems to have sorted itself after getting back on Propecia for around 2 weeks. (Is this possible?!)
After lurking on this forum I visited Dr Lorenzo for a consultation not really expecting much, wondering if it was a waste of time as I am not balding and some people would say you re fine . (I m a 2 on the Norwood scale) After the consultation I came away wanting FUE treatment after seeing more of his work, him saying I was a candidate and that my donor is healthy (I know Dr Lorenzo will turn people away unlike some doctors)
Dr Lorenzo is very busy so choice on my appointment date wasn t a luxury I could afford which is fine, but now with the appointment coming closer I am wondering if I have researched this enough or if I m making a rash decision. As it is hairline work I am having done some people are saying he is conservative which is not a bad thing as it is important to create something realistic but I wonder if my choice would be better with someone else? Don t get me wrong I look in the mirror every day and it causes me a loss of confidence and with the shape of my head shaving is it is not an option ¦ believe me if I thought I could away with it I would!
I m not getting cold feet, but I read of people having 3+ consultations, hearing about unrealistic expectations especially those on the NW2 scale and the disappointment afterwards, speaking with a psychologist, not having surgery in your 20 s etc and I m wondering if I ve just rushed it all.
I must admit I felt very comfortable with Dr Lorenzo who totally got why I wanted it and what I wanted done, I know he s generally considered the best FUE doctor, and despite the price I really like that he does all the grafts himself, plus I am local to the Farjo clinic so it feels like this is a good time as having to travel over to Spain would put it out my price range. Plus if I needed further work I know he will do this on a knockdown price.
So yes, to cut to the chase, do I need further to consultations or if I m going with the best do I just need to worry less and it s a case of you re not going to find any better?
Thanks

I agree with Topcat though when he says spend some time before the surgery learning as much as possible about the procedure....mainly so you know what to expect.
