Persistent Juvenile Hairline in Advanced Balding Man (with Photos)

The pictures below are of a man of Indian decent who lost most of the hair on his head, but kept his juvenile hairline intact. We see this rarely in European Caucasians and more frequently amongst people from South Asia. This particular man is in his mid-thirties and may get a good response from Propecia, as his hair loss has just appeared in the past 2-3 years. If he does not benefit from the medication, a hair transplant will be on his agenda.

Note that there was no hair transplant performed on this patient as of the time these photos were taken. This is his natural balding pattern. Click the photos to enlarge.

What is particularly important to note is that this juvenile hairline is just the exact same part that is generally lost in the Caucasian maturing hairline. Please compare the hairline shown here with the one from a previous blog, Maturation of a Hairline — Moving From Juvenile to Mature and imagine that one is just the reverse of the other.
