I had a considerably high hairline growing up (from a very young age) but it didn't receed much so I really didn't pay much thought to the possibility of going bald. During my early tweenties (right at the start of them) comments started to get a little excessive (my university buddies and I loved to make fun of each other for some reason) and my hairline receeded quite a bit between the age of 20 and 23. At this point I began using propecia to stop my hairloss, which it seems to this day was very affective. At this point however, the damage was done.

For the following two years I was pretty okay with my hairline and accepted that it wasn't perfect. I had a good job, good girlfriend, and was still atractive enough to get attention from women, which I've discovered men care about for self esteem regardless of relationship status.

I realized that hairloss affected a large of amount of activities I did and in some cases my sociability. In many situations I was nervous about people making comments and or people noticing that my hairline was worse than my hairstyle made it seem.

Realizing that it impacted my life I decided to conduct research through this website and other means and eventually decided to get a hair transplant with Dr. Rahal.
