    FUE is the way to go if you are NW3 or less and not many NW6s in the family. I have shaved down to a clipper #2 so that 6mm with no evidence what so ever, but I think that after say 6-10 months you can go down to clipper #1 i.e. 3mm if you have a top result. But nothing is guaranteed, but I am pretty sure that I can shave down to that around now or in a couple of months. I will probably do it next time I have 2 weeks holiday.

    Do your research before you go for FUE there are only about a hand full of top docs who can do 2000+ graft in 1-2 days with a top result.

    Good luck.

    It seems I have had very "interesting" hair loss. Start loosing it at 15 and in 20s some. Now I am in 30s and for the last couple of years (4-5) I have had almost no hair loss so that is encouraging for me to get ht, as I am pretty confident it wont be so aggressive in the future where I would be left with island infront Also, my relatives are pretty much full of hair. Father for example, way over 50s has almost no hair loss at all. DNK test comes to mind

    2000 grafts sounds like a lot to me anyway, as from this photos it seems like I have half a head balding, whereas is only first 1/3.

From past experience, Finasteride also plays a role in deciding the overall game plan of your hair restoration. I recommend you get a few opinions from different doctors as to what they recommend and in general how much donor supply you are working with.
    Donor supply is pretty good. Wide, thick hair. In fact, what I hate about my hair is that from sides they get to thick and fast growing even after only a week after hair cut Will take some out, serves them right.

    I have had no medication, nor do I ever want to be put on one, period. As for the density and hair line, I had an issue as my forehead is already high even if there would be no hair loss at all, so I have to lover it down.

    Anywhere between 1500 - 2000 grafts would give you a decent result - and apparently Dr Gho can achieve 80% donor regeneration so a repeat procedure 12 months down the line could be feasible.

    Oh how I'd leap in line for a hair transplant if they could conflate the original procedure with cell therapy injections to increase density. That's all we could ask for really, just to use the injections for density and continue having hair transplants as usual.

    Dude, Realistically you will need a 2500-3000 session minimum.

    What do you mean by donor regeneration, you mean that 80% of transplanted hair will stick and 20% will be lost or what?

    I am posting new photos which gives better overall view. Could you make new estimation please.

    I only now noticed that I am start receding in crown too, just what I need , but I am not panicking about it. As I am tall enough it would be hard to notice + you can cover it with a longer hair and decent hair cut, so please give an estimation for frontal area only.

    Can somebody give an estimation about donor area, it looks good or?

    Hi,
    In my opinion its clear you are definitely in store for further loss and quite quickly - Are you on Finasteride ? Hair loss is progessive - therefore you will lose more over time so the more hair you can keep /stabilise the better as in turn it will mean fewer HT's. However do not be in ANY rush for a HT till you are confident your hair loss is stable. You will more than likely stop the loss or even regrow mid/crown on finasteride so consider it whilst you have the option to salvage a good amount of hair still.


    See a couple of 2500-3000 examples

    Thank you for opinion, will check out the videos. As for the hair loss, I haven't notice any significant hair loss in the last 4-5 years, so I am confident it is pretty stable, and I don't really mind losing couple of hair (in the crown, that is) as I age, but Id like to restore frontal area and have decent hair cut for at least once from a long time.

    Furthermore, there is no single relative I can point out, that would have completely bald top (crown), not one, as in fact most of my older relatives still have full head of hair, even in their 50s. That said, my uncle have somewhat more progressive hair loss than I have atm, but he is over 45, still not completely bald though.

    Any opinion about donor area would be greatly appreciated.

    As for the medicine, I feel very uncomfortable on being stuck to some medicine for the rest of my life, except alcohol , and d like to avoid that.

    2500-3000 sounds like a lot to me, and while I am amateur in this field, shouldn't I leave some amount for later if I might need 2nd HT?

    One more question I have. I have "decent" amount of body hair on my chest and stomach, which I want to get rid of anyway. Can I use it for HT. How is it with the scars on chest thereafter?

    Hi,

    In my honest and experienced opinion you WILL lose more hair - the clear signs are there. Im not here to sugar coat it.

    Donor looks good however you really need a Doc to assess it as pics are dark and only a Doc can give you a true idea.

    If you only want a very conservative HT then you would be looking at below 2500. Otherwise you will be left wanting, nature of the beast - you always need more than you think you need.

    Body hair is hit and miss and proven to be inconsistent. It also looks like body hair on your head if it grows. It is used in cases as a LAST RESORT. Use scalp hair initially.

    Get educated dont rush in and do not go in blind based on just what you WANT but rather what you NEED. There is a BIG difference.

    elnino, Cost of a 2500 surgery via strip is approx $10,000 - $12,000 as a guide with a good ethical and reputable clinic.
