Hi everyone this is my first post on the site and I've not been signed up long but I haven't been able to stop reading content since I found the forum!
I found the forum through 'Hair transplant mentor' and what a great site it is to discover, so much great information on here... I have to say, I have learned a lot just from this website alone!
For that already I really want to say thank you to all of the contributors
Basically, I'm looking at the possibility of an FUE procedure to restore my former density to my hair as from what I now know, I'm confident that my hair loss is of the diffused pattern type. DPA.
I've been knowingly suffering from my hair loss for the past 7 years, I say knowingly as I didn't even realize myself that it was happening instead I met with the depressing reality by someone else actually telling me...
I must say though that I've found what seems like some mixed articles on diffused hairloss.. Some saying it can respond well to FUE, and some saying FUE not an option... This is the main thing confusing me right now...
In my mind I'm thinking "Well I've never had an HT before, I've got what appears to be a very good donor site all the way around, I've actually still got hair across my scalp, albeit very thin but it is there"..
I just need to find some first hand advice on what I can do to restore the density...
To summarize some background info, I'm 32 years old and I have;
-A very close, if not same hairline to what I have had for the last maybe 10 years
-Always had fine straight hair
-I have very good growth and density on the back and sides
-A few greys now poking through on the sides!
-Unfortunately the overall thinning and baldness showing through to my scalp from basically my hairline to my crown approximately 10cm all the way back
-I've never taken any meds, and not keen to use Finasteride due to potential sides associated.
-No medical conditions
I used to wear my hair in all different styles but since my realization I have resorted to buzzing it all off on a regular basis which I feel I'm forced to do, and I wish I didn't!
I recently started to consider the possibility of an FUE HT as my hairloss on the top still seems to be the same now as it was almost 5 years ago so in that regard now pretty stable... from what I've read online and in my head now might be good timing for this sort of procedure??
Although I've been searching every day as much as time will allow I have to say the majority of good outcome UK cases I can find with photos and successful results tend to be slightly different to mine in that they aren't of the diffuse pattern type hair loss. I have yet to speak to any of the clinics but I'm confident that I have a good donor site for the potential of a successful procedure...
I would like to ask anyone and everyone reading this if they know which doctors might be best to point me in the direction of, who may be best suited to talk to?
Or if anyone has seen any clinics with consistently good results when it comes to FUE on diffused type patients?
Are there maybe even clinics that lend themselves towards being specialist for diffuse pattern patients??
There's so many doctors and clinics I almost do not know where to start!
Can anyone[):h::?
Thank you so much Ladies and Gents!
