My donor area, can I have hope?

Recently I sent pictures to clinics in Turkey for evaluation. I use shaved hair and it was only 2-3 weeks after the last time I shaved. The estimates were as follows:
3800 follicles (Dr. Serkan)
2500 follicles (Anatomica)
4000 follicles (ArenaMed).

(the clinics asked me to let my hair grow and for new evaluations)

I have grade 6, to cover whole area would need at least 4500 (at least one case of grade 6 I know whose transplant was a success were 4500 transplanted follicles).

Initially I lost my hopes with low estimates (I did not trust ArenaMed), but a photo of my donor area 4 years ago encouraged me (assuming the donor area is not affected by baldness it should look like the four year photo when the hair grows big enough).

For those here who already have some experience what do they think?

(Attached is a current photo (with 5 weeks the last time I shaved my hair) and the old photo (which encouraged me to wait for my hair to grow a little longer).

Can I have hope of a good FUE transplant?

About four years ago (last I got before I start to use shaved hair).

You need to see a Dr to see if you are even a candidate for fue. Pictures will not give them enough information to make that decision. I was told I was not a candidate for fue after a consultation because donar area was too thin.
My donor area looks thick me but it wasn't good enough for fue.
