Today I finally took the time to go to a hair transplant specailist to see exactly what my situatuion is. Not just any old derm though. My dad is a Doctor so he has what you would call "connections" so the guy he sent me to was one of the best and most respected hair transplant dudes in Ireland. (Which I don't doubt- the consultation cost €250!)
To be honest, I was expecting the worst. I am a 23-year-old NW2 and I have watched my hairline closely since I first noticed a little recession when I was 17. It definitely HAS receded. (My current hairline is almost identical to Johnny Depp's inTHIS PIC) My hairline has changed to some degree over the last 7 years. No doubt about that so I was very keen to get on Propecia to make sure it didn't get any worse. But low and behold, when I got there, the guy said I had absolutely NOTHING to worry about. He said I just have a mature hairline. I was there for about an hour. He took photos, talked me through everything, explaining all the reasons that relate to the fact that I don't have any signs of male pattern baldness. As you can imagine, this was the best fuckin €250 I ever spent!
He then said if the highly unlikely case of my condition getting worse occured, he would then think about Propecia. So I have to go back in 6 months to make sure everything is OK but he said that its just a precaution and that things are looking good.
So folks, as you can imagine, I'm not gonna be posting here as much as I used to to say the least but I'll definitely pop in every now and then to see how you are all getting on. You have all been such a great help to me and for that I thank you. I also wish you all the VERY best in the future.
Good luck.
