Just scheduled an FUE hair transplant with Dr. Vories as per Anubis' recommendation, apparently he's one of the best in the country.
I began thinning noticeably about 5 years ago but it's been gradual and hair fibers saved me. I've attached 4 pictures below, 2 without the fibers and 2 with the fibers and you can see it's a pretty dramatic difference. It's honestly put me back to where I was 4-5 years ago. I'd probably be ok without a transplant for another year or two, but I'm soon to begin a high end job that I will likely be in for many years, with a crucial first year, and can't afford to take a few weeks off and come back with a shaved blotchy head so I figured I'll get it done now and be set for a while.
I'm hoping I'm set for at least another 5 years without fibers at all, and then maybe another 5+ years with fibers before I would need a second transplant. I really want to avoid minoxidil and finasteride so I'm sure I'll lose my hair faster than I would if I used those, but I just don't want the potential side effects.
We'll be doing 2500 grafts, building up the top and front and bringing the hairline down a bit. The only time the hair fibers are noticeable is right in the very front so with the front being built up with transplanted hair I think I could get by for a while with the one transplant and the fibers.
Anyway happy to answer any questions and I'll be posting updates here.
