My case with photos. 2000 grafts FUE in 4 weeks...

[csoul]

Hello Guys,

I am scheduled for a FUE ARTAS surgery in one month (2000 grafts FUE ARTAS) 1000 for the crown and 1000 for the hairline in a one day surgery .

I am a little bit worried that I am won't see extraordinary results with just 1000 grafts in the crown and 1000 on the hairline instead of let's say 1500 in the hairline and 500 in the crown (and use Toppik or something like that that work great for me in the crown) but the doctor think is the best way to go in my case because at the same time I HATE to have the bald spot in the crown especially when I go to the pool or the beach or when my girlfriend is touching my hair and all the toppik came off on her fingers (F%#$!) so obviously will be nice to have more density in the crown but as you know hairline is more critical.

I am also a little bit nervous to completely shave my head for the first time in my life and all the questions that that will create in my job and friends. I don't want to tell them anything. I just started to date a girl and I don't feel confident yet to tell her that I will have a hair transplant. I told everybody that I will be out of town for 12 days to avoid seeing anyone in the critical period of the post op.

Doctor is a well know IAHRS surgeon.

What do you guys think about the number of grafts and location (crown/hairline)? any other comments about the social issues I have with the HT?

I am using 0.5mg on Propecia every other day (with good results on lowering my DHT levels without terrible side effects I had with 1mg a day), Minoxidil 2 times a day, Nizoral 3 times a week and dermarrolling once a week

Thanks
