Fue hair transplant (400 - 500 grafts)

[Scotty1]

Hi guys,

I will be having my 1st fue hair transplant in about a month. See my pre pic allready.

Were I drafted the line is were it will be filled (also on other side).

I talked the whole thing through with my hair councellor , I'm supposed to give a call this week to confirm or cancel . What would you do, do I oversee any risks?

I'm terribly hating the recession of my hairline and want it back in shape. It's allready stabilized the last 8 yrs btw.

Thanks for reading this.

Scotty:

How old are you and what is your family history of hair loss? Insist on FUE and make sure the doctor knows not to place multiple-hair follicular units near the hairline.

Hi 25YrsAfter, thx for the good advice!

My age is 30. I have the same structure of hair as my father and grandpa it seems (thick & a slight curve in it). My father was balding in the same pattern as me (at the left and right hand side of the front hairline). But he still has like the same hairline now as I have in my picture so quite a lot of hair for a 60 y/o,

My hair councellor says he can insert 55 gfts a square cm on my balding spots. do you think this will look good taking my picture into consideration or will there be a big difference with my current hair..? Think myself 400 to 500 grafts is a good estimate as the other side seems a bit less affected by hair loss.

Do I take a risk that I harm my current hair in any ways (shockloss)? I take fincar for 6 yrs now btw.

400 to 500 grafts is a reasonable estimate. What country are you in and who is the doctor/clinic you are considering?

Clinics have a reputation for having both competent and incompetent doctors. I am not familiar with the ABC Clinic. Who is the doctor that will be doing the work? I know a great doctor in Belgium. That's approx. 100+ miles from you.

There are multiple other doctors mentioned on the website handling FUE.

I couldn't find examples of his work posted. It's extremely important you go with a doctor who has a reputation for doing excellent work. It's really easy to butcher a hair transplant. Sometimes the graft recipient area looks OK, then down the road a very short haircut reveals scarring in the donor area because too large a punch was used. Sometimes the hair direction and density is wrong.

For the loss you have I wouldn't even bother .

It’s not worth the risk of possible shock loss. From the picture you hardly have any recession. You should seek the advice of a qualified IAHRS hair transplant surgeon before moving forward with anything, but if it were me I would just leave it alone.
