Taking the plunge- Central London Hair Clinic- PICS Help & general advice please!

Hi all!

I'm about to turn 37 years old and and my hair started thinning in my mid twenties.... I coped with it for a few years and aged 34 opted for a hair system.

It looked good for the first 2 weeks of every month but a hair system is a hassle and I was always stressing that it was noticeable, which it must have been at various times of wearing it.

Anyway- Corona meant that I couldn't go to my stylist to get it "changed" so I decided to shave it off and give my scalp some hair!
It hadn't seen the day of light for 3 years and felt amazing. I've obviously not seem my scalp much for 3 years and does appear that my hair loss on top has got slightly worse- especially the crown. I'm told that the hair system may have accelerated that process, I wouldn't be surprised at it was relatively painful taking it off every month!

Anyway, as I have savings on the side I've decided to go for a hair transplant. Finding a good clinic is clearly the difficult part and I've gone through a load offering 50% off and so on which actually put me off as I'd rather pay more but be sure that the clinic is reputable- I actually can't see how you can cut corners as any surgery, especially your hair is so important to get right!

I've settled on a Harley Street Clinic- hoping it's the right one but it appears to be. They've suggested I go for 2000 grafts, does this look right as it appears to be not many considering my hair loss?

I need to book tomorrow- exciting but frightening at the same time!
