Where am I on the Norwood scale?

[Nearly38]

Male. I turn 38 in 2020. Just wondering where I’m at on the Norwood scale? I’ve pretty much had this same hairline sense my mid 20s. Always had a pretty high hairline/widows peak. People even told me I looked receded when I was 14. Yet here I am. Zero thinning in the crown. Really no thinning anywhere except for the temples. Merry Christmas!

That looks like natural mature progression. I cant even put a norwood to that. You got great hair. Temples look good and it flows well

Thanks for getting back to me. So right now do nothing about it? Not even a guess as to what Norwood I might fall into?

I was having a hard time figuring it out as well. My temples have receded a bit, but hair is still as thick and full as ever. Temple points still in tact.

No prob.

You have absolutely no problem to be worried about.

You have thick dense hair. No amount of density will be able to match it if you have hairs placed in front. Why risk all that saline to expand tissue in front for surgery where good hairs are? You can get more damage due to that.

By going for surgery, you risk a lot and unethical surgical protocols can even risk you to shockloss, massive scarring, ridging, cobblestoning in that area. The hair in front will be see through due to your native thick hair behind it. Folks who get transplants now cant even have the type of hairline and thick dense look you have now, just imagine.

This surgery can totally disfigure a face if done wrong and if it looks unnatural or see through. Trust me, i know just how this is.

You do not want to be in a position where you chase repairs trying to fix doctors poor work.

Some folks make it seem that there are many happy patients, when in fact, complex ndas and agreements spook real patients from commenting. There are quite a fee unhappy folks who got hurt. Some places also downplay if you have valid concerns over the web due to interests.

I wish i can turn back time,
But right now all i can say is you are good. Right now everything looks natural, afterwards it may look unnatural. Your hairline is maturing not really receding. If you have folks commenting you are losing lot of hair and you see globs of hair coming out, then it would be something else. Dont fix what isnt broken. If you were nearby i can show you in person as to what can occur. I am a real patient with no incentive. Ive spoken to toms of real folks who got burned. Best of luck

And you definitely are lucky to have such hair
