    Had a 2000 graft FUE covering the front to mid area 2 years ago. Coverage was at ~20 FU/cm2. It did its job of framing my face, but looked "off" bc there was too much bald area to the top of my head. I had the second HT 10 month later of 2000 graft FUE again at ~20 FU/cm2 up to top of head. There were some extras (~200 FU) that I had the Dr implant to the front were it was the lightest densities.
    Result is a framed face, but "see through" density at the front and top. the crown still has a bald circular spot of ~64 cm2.
    This looks OK and way better than being completely bald. If I use Dermatch and sprinkle on a little Toppix it actually looks like I have pretty decent hair, very age appropriate. But it is kind of a pain in the ass having to do this all the time.
    I will have a third HT and have been told I have ~2000 grafts in my donor area. I plan on adding 10 FU/cm2 to the front up and the top to give a density of 30 FU/cm2. This is ~150 cm2 so it will need 1500 FU's. I'm "on the fence" about using the other 500FU in the crown at ~10 FU/cm2 or just using them in the front for higher density up front. I think putting them in the bald spot will help with holding the concealer and Toppix for when I want to use them to fool people into thinking I have more hair than I do.
    I will post pics so Norwood 6's can know what to expect for results. Like a previous poster said, you need 8000 for a decent result. I only have 6000 on my head so I'm going to be lighter density or have the bald spot on my crown. Or use beard or body hair, which is $'s I may not want to spend.
    FYI: Cost was ~$7500 per HT, so $15k so far, soon to be $21.5k.
    Great, I look forward to seeing the pics! Thanks for sharing.

    Hi jconley, Congrats for the 2 successful HTs.
    I'm 41 years old, NW5/6...interested about why didn't you go upfront for FUT as it yields more density and would, probably, leave you with more donor hair... also you could have put 4,000 grafts in just one procedure. Is it the scar?

    Oh that wasn't me, that's 2goingon3 up above. I've only had one HT and it was an FUT as you said
