Actually suits you really well. But I can understand why you want to lower your hairline.

Yeah--I'm pretty graft-greedy. I do like the style I've got, and was a bit on the fence about whether to bother changing it. I mean, I'm probably in NW 1 territory at this point. But I'd like to whittle away at the tops of the temples and create a straighter hairline. I may live to regret this, but whatever.

Damn yeahyeahyeah, you are hitting these transplant threads hard. We gotta get you in to that chair.

win200, your hair looks great. Good luck with your latest and future procedures.

Thanks! I'm pleased with what I've got, but of course that's not stopping me from going back under the knife.

Nice, how did he figure your graft count? Pictures? Online consultation? Don't mind me asking the cost?

I sent in pictures plus an explanation of what I was looking for. I said I wanted to keep the graft count 1,500 or under, because I think using more than 3k on the hairline starts to get reckless. He thought 1,500 more grafts would lower the corners and be sufficient to do a very dense pack. That's a lot of grafts to go into a hairline, so it should look very close to full density.

I'm from Seattle. I didn't fly out to Rahal for the consult; obviously that's ideal, but I wasn't going to go through that hassle just to do it again. I'm very familiar with his work and approach, so I just wanted to confirm that he thought my preferred approach was reasonable, which he did. 3,000 cumulative grafts in the hairline is a lot, and some docs would probably balk at that.
