Hair loss - anything to reverse it or prevent it? Is hair transplantation an option?

That looks fantastic! I’m interested in the same surgery. My hair and my cock have always been my biggest insecurities. I’m actually shocked I still have most of my hair. It’s receding that’s for sure but all the men on my dads side were bald by their 20’s. I’m pushing 40 and still just receding. My mom side is a mixed bag and I do have her hair type.

LG is right definitely do your homework. There is one of the best in NYC but the guy wants $500 just for an appointment. My wife’s plastic surgeon recommended him and after I told him how he wanted $500 just for an appointment his jaw hit the floor.

Yeah I have pretty much decided to go to turkey should the need arise. Very similar situation to your my mums side have no hairloss whatsoever, saw a family gathering pic on my maternal grandmothers phone everyone on her side of the family had a full head of dark thick hair. Dad bald by 40 so I dont know what I will get. But I will get on propecia for sure as soon as I hit 30, not just for hairloss but for prostate health also.

Funny you mention Turkey. My wife’s dr said he had a patient go to Turkey, enjoy a vacation and get transplant surgery for around 5k.

Absolute pseudo-science rubbish. Discussing this with you would be pointless.

That seems to be your opinion on anyone disagrees with you. Your a bright who can add a lot to forum if you’d just think before you type. Beside haven’t you called Pe pseudo-science before?

P.S I’m not saying I agree in anyway with Henrik

No, that sentence is indeed pseudo-science crap; and I do think it’s important to flag such things. Too many young men might read that sort of thing and believe it has merit. It simply doesn’t. There are real world consequences to what people might absorb from boards like this.

I’ve never said that PE is pseudo-science; I’ve said that most people who have heard about it think it is.

Anyway, thank you for the compliment; I’ll try to think more before typing.

Wow that looks great! You were lucky to have all the right factors in place! Do you take propecia for hairloss and prostate health or did you not lose that much/fast in the first place?

Let’s then stick to what MD’s that have gone through medical school and the pharmaceutical companys that have produced a drug appliant with the strict regulations in place says then as far as side effect profile of proscar (5mg) 5 times the normal dose, and 10 times the dose I’d personally take for hairloss.
Consensus is that there really is no case for stating lowering dht causes anything bad to happen to your penis or physical well being. But hey don’t take my word for it ask your doctor or go check on webMD etc. The incidence of erectile dysfunction after 5 years will not be statistically significantly greater than placebo and thus most likely caused by other factors. Also don’t forget that an enlarged prostate is very bad for EQ.

Your naïveté regarding Mds and webMD (lol? seriously?) - not to mention the “strict” regulatory process*** - is frankly dangerous for your own health; I hope you don’t influence others.

Many people taking “statins” - among other dubious pharmaceuticals, usually a boatload of them by the time they’re middle aged - use the same sort of poor judgement. And that judgement is not based in science, but in shoddy propaganda. Moreover, unfortunately for your argument the concept of “a consensus” is totally scientifically irrelevant.

DHT does not “cause” an enlarged prostate; if you look into the actual research and not what Merck tells you, you’d be surprised.

***whom do you think those regulations are FOR? Indeed, who writes them in the first place?

Statins are extremely important medication for people with dyslipidemia. Statins are the reason my grandmother is alive after her heart bypass surgery, I have seen the good and bad. Too high dosage= bad side effects. The perfect dosage=perfect lipid levels and no new blockaged even reversal of athersclerosis and still alive 21 years after surgery!

Usually the cockoos advocating no to statins even though they already had multiple cardiovascular events themselves are not long lived. Ofcourse people should listen to their doctor who uses the best collective knowleadge to date to recommend medication and inform about medications.

I’m happy for your grandmother but that’s not evidence of anything whatsoever. Statins are very poorly researched. And, they are based upon an erroneous understanding of the nature cardiovascular disease.

Wow. Good luck. I’ll stick with science thanks ;)

I had a hair transplant back in 2007 by a guy in Vancouver Canada (Hasson & Wong).
Wong did my procedure and told me up front “you’re gonna be a slam dunk, you have a lot of good donor hair”. I couldn’t be happier with the work he did. Nobody can tell I had a procedure. Looks totally natural and since the hair is harvested from the back of your scalp where it is genetically predisposed to never recede or go away, the transplanted follicles will always remain where they are planted. Back then my procedure cost me $5800.00 bucks. If you’re considering a hair transplant do your homework and make sure you find a reputable surgeon with lots of experience and good referral recommendations!
