Hi all,
I wonder could someone help me. I recently went for a consultation with an excellent HR surgeon in Ireland. He assessed my hair and felt that I did not need a transplant of any kind yet as my loss is mostly at the temples at the moment. He advised me to continue using propecia and minoxidil and that hopefully I would never need his surgical services. However being a bit of a pessimist I asked him to assess my donor area just in case my loss continues. He examined my hair and said it was excellent. It's curly and wiry which is perfect (he commented that I must have African genes somewhere as the characteristics of my hair are so similiar), while my scalp laxity was also very high. The only thing he noticed was that while average donor density is 100 FU's per cm2, mine was lower at about 80 FU's per cm2. He felt however that my other characteristics more than made up for this and that if I needed one in the future, that I would be an excellent candidate. I was just wondering if anyone, either through their knowledge or experience, could back this up. That a the slightly lower FU count would not be a drawback considering my other characteristics? Any info would be great,
Brendan
