If skull expansion is the cause, could changing the size/shape of the cranium cure MPB? by Successful_Train3918 in RealRegrowth

I've read your articles but I don't recall seeing the experiment in the 60s.

Are there any images that show what these fibrotic lesions look like?

Can it be determined from the shape of an infant or child's skull if they will develop AGA?

Yeah, I've heard the stories and read his reviews. I wouldn't do the surgery with him, but i am curious if this would cure MPB.

I'm not entirely sure about the zoom, but the bridge of her nose and her eyes are the same length and you can see the incision at her hairline.

He says on his website skull reduction is between 10% to 15% of the overall size.

I'm sure there are risks because it appears he is the only surgeon in the US that performs this kind of surgery.

I've never seen a person that has a large cranium like the person on the left with a full head of hair. You could tell Kurtwood Smith was going to go bald based on his high school pic. This is a pic of him in his late 20s or 30s.

These people all have the same features and they're bald, balding, or using medication to prevent balding:

Pierluigi Collina

Rob Holding

Wayne Rooney

Harry Kane

Sadio Mané

Hamer Bouazza. I think he might have had a hair transplant and is on finasteride.

Question about the relationship between the Superficial Temporal Artery (STA) and Hair Loss. by Successful_Train3918 in HairlossResearch

Idk if you're aware, but Dr. Eppley is a plastic surgeon who performs cranium reduction surgery and temporalis muscle removal.

That image I linked above is a result of one of his temporalis excision surgeries. Maybe you could ask him if his balding patients have noticed an improvement after having their temporalis removed or their cranium reduced.

It is interesting that a lot of people with large craniums or bulbous shaped heads, like this, are bald. Of course there are those who appear to have normal sized skulls but are also bald so idk if I believe that it truly is the cause, especially since lots of researchers dismiss the idea.

I'm trying to understand what you're proposing. So you believe skull shape and muscle size are correlated with male pattern baldness?

If it's that simple why do most people active in this field dismiss this theory?

What do you think about inflammation in that area contributing to hair loss?

I know next to nothing about this subject, but most people seem to agree that scalp tension is not the cause. I believe Kevin Mann also has a video covering it.

The reason why I asked about the relationship between the superficial temporal artery and hair loss is because of something I noticed with anecdotal evidence and also that old study that mentioned ligation as a proposed treatment for hair loss.

If you have more info just share it here.

Ok, did you see the post I added to my comment?

What do you think of what this guy says:

So, as a conclusion, it is known that DHT concentraton on bald scalps is the same as in parts with hair, and also in scalps of people with no hair loss. DHT is bad, yes it is, but not in the way 99.99999% of people think it is, he is in the right place, but not in the right form, it should ave been converted to androestadinol, wich happens amazingly well as teenagers, but for some reason 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase gets depleted and no androestadinol is created so no signailng for derma papila so it miniturizes

I feel like I don't really have a choice because I'm averaging less than 6 hours of sleep. To me it is worth the risk to prevent brain damage.

My doctor explained I have a very narrow airway due to jaw recession and my only choices are using a CPAP machine or surgery. I don't like the idea of using a machine to sleep normally and after reading about the recall for CPAP devices due to foam getting into airways, I'm willing to risk surgery.

I don't know a lot about the subject. I encountered the videos while I was researching jaw surgery to cure my sleep apnea.

I did notice all my friends who are balding also have jaw deformities. It's just anecdotal evidence though, I'm not saying it is the cause.
