Is "thinning" worse than "recession" in terms of being an indication of future hairloss? In my case, I have NO diffuse thinning, but I do have bitemporal recession. Where I DO have hair, I have all of it and betray no signs of thinning, but, in my "problem" areas, I have none of it.

(4) If one can reach age 30 at NW 2 or 2.5 and without diffuse thinning, what, in your experiences, would be his propsects for continued loss?

Thinning is worse then recession when the thinning area is large (norwood 4-6). it is definetally indicating on minuterization of the natural excisting hair follicles in that area to the point of baldness while a guy who is receding in one area and full in the other can expect to stay that way...but it is mostly depending on the family hair loss history (genetics). If you are receding and your father is norwood 3a, it is very likely that you will end up in the same norwood scale in his age.
Can you tell me about your family hair loss history?

It looks like you are pretty much in the safe zone for hair transplant. usually it's the father genes and not from the mother side.

Thanks.

Dr. Cole likes to consult with the patients also before the surgery. He will listen to the patient's concerns and desires and whenever he feels that the patient has his expectations at the right level and he is a good candidate he will try to get him to the same point that the patient desires with a good plan.
You said "perfection", And I will say that in this case you will get the best Doctor since Dr. Cole is a true perfectionist.
BUT...you will have to define what perfection is...Hair transplant can't be perfect if you are considering a 16y old hairline perfect. Ht can be perfect for a given situation and considering all the other factors and limitation of a given case.

Hi Shadow,

You should find this paper, above, quite interesting.

When creating and placing the hairline many factors should be considered. What is the donor hair quantity and quality? What does the future hairloss picture look like? What shape will compliment and frame the patients face? The surgeon should also note the shape of the patients head, the plains of the skull, etc.

Dr. Cole follows the pattern that nature dictates. Nature's hairline is irregular. It is a soft, staggered zone of single hair follicular units. Dr. Cole also follows the angles of existing hair shafts to recreate the natural geometry of hair growth and direction.

With FIT very fine one-hair-grafts can be extracted in areas of the head where a strip exision cannot happen. This allows for an even more natural hairline as the natural miniaturization of hair can be recreated up front.

So the goal is - 1. heighten the aesthetics of the face, 2. plan long term, and 3. make the hairline appear totally natural.

Does that help?

Hair restoration is about supply and demand so it is a good sign that you are concerned with just the frontal area. A very good HT candidate will have minimal loss and a good donor area.
