    Default Donor limited

    Went for consult today, been shaving head for past 10 years. Decided to grow it in for past month, to show doc what he had to work with. I wanted the fue, because still wanted to keep it tight. Anyway was turned away today, he was very frank with me, told me I wouldn't be happy because not enough donor supply. Now I know why celeberties aren't all walking around with full heads of hair with all their money. If the supply isn't there, your screwed. Anyway I developed a lot of gray over past 10 years, fortunate think I look younger with no hair, maybe it's a blessing.

    What NW classification are you? You could always potentially opt for a BHT? How old are you anyhow?

    I'm 41, told me I needed at least 3,000 grafts to fill crown and frontal. He told me I looked good with the shave head, not worth the transplant, won't get a thick or full coverage. Very honest, nice doctor, saw his results while in there, great results he has produced. Def Recommend him if you have the supply.
