The MOST important fact to remember!!!!
If you are bald hair restoration surgery will NEVER restore a full head of hair. For a dose of reality, check out the following image. I have used my pitiful Photoshop skills to show what a donor strip with approximately 4800 grafts would look like if it was just laid on top of a bald scalp. This is assuming a donor strip of approximately 30cm X 2cm and full density of about 80 FU per cm2. If this doesn't make the reality of this procedure clear, nothing will.

exactly.
Wait for Histogen and Replicel to announce their results first....

That's actually quite a kool look !!

Thats 4800 grafts ???
I mean whats the point then.. if thats 4800 grafts.. then it would take a million dollars if not much more for this guy to fix his entire bald head.

Imagine someone was norwood 6 or 7 and pulled out a 30cm strip and then cut out a strip of scalp on top and placed in the donor strip, plus a bit of FUE for the donor scar, for the mister T native density mowhawk.

I still feel very much puzzled with donor hair mystery.. essentially, we all should have plenty of side hairs to be moved to bald spots..

Every 20 something that has hardly any hairloss should look at that picture and understand that the clinics that do give them that unethical low hairline or do not plan responsibly by front loading too much density are in reality screwing them over and taking their money for some very temporary happiness that will come at a very painful price.
Same goes for the clinics that just use up grafts to load the crown because what the heck the patient is paying.
Responsible clinics explain the numbers and advise the patient on what is sensible because the clinic is in a position of greater knowledge, or at least we would hope so.
Great visual on the reality of donor and hair transplants.

I agree.
I have looked at Alvi Armani's website and the results they show; the young men look quite good, but I'd hate to see them in another five years. Using up all of someone's donor for a dense NW1 hairline before they're even my age seems like a terrible thing to do.

You are puzzled by everything associated with resolving hereditary hair loss.
