the opposite, when i started treatments, the crown was slightly thinning, but barely noticeable, hairline was already thinking for a while...You haven't looked into Dr Zarev clearly. Some of the patients he worked on, for whatever reason would only get half the grafts being extracted with other surgeons, so the result wouldn't be as good for Norwood 6-7. Other drs themselves said they wouldn't have done what he did - i mean they said it themselves lol. He's a machine and does the whole transplant pretty much himself and aesthetic placement. Like I said, as a Norwood 6-7 I wouldn't look elsewhere as in some cases people end up losing worse than before with pube like hair.
Why are you getting caught up in wig or system? It's just a name and again it indicates you're on the spectrum which you once mentioned, too many signs. If someone calls my transplant, plugs, well yeah it is, just a modern version, concentrate on results. Use your "system" in your situation as I feel once people get used to that density, it's hard to look back and a transplant won't give it in your situation. The picture you put up once with the system, I actually have that density and more especially if I style it like that. Financially I would assume transplants are cheaper long run for most people, NW3s pay 2k in Turkey but again Norwood 6-7 and elite doctors, the cost could be approaching 50k euros, 4 euros per graft and 10k grafts, factor in hotels and travel fares with each visit etc.
Did you start losing hair in the crown before the hairline? You might be one of the guys that loses it more back to front and in diffuse manner, good news is treatment can sometimes give a full recovery, bad news is that these guys usually have a more aggressive pattern which is difficult to control long term on conventional treatments at least.
now i need toppik...
yeah, i dont know if any treatment works... im on dutasteride and 10mg oral min... all for nothing apparently...
