Thanks again for your insights, reflections, and opinions. You may have rescued me from the siren's song of a bad HT.

sac,

I'm pleased that you understood the opinions of the above posters. The issue definately isn't whether or not you can do multiple smaller sessions. Of course that can be done. But since your area you want to cover is already almost completely bald, you don't have to worry about shockloss where the new hairs are being transplanted. That being said, I'd say you may need at least 2000, but probably more like 2500+ to accomplish a decent hairline and some density. My judgement is a bit off on the grafts though, because the pics don't show your hairloss very well. Try pulling back the combovered hair and take more pics. Have someone take the pics for you if you could.

Also, you look young....so if you are not taking any medication for your hairloss, I suggest checking out Propecia and getting on it ASAP. The concern is, because you are young, your hairloss may continue depending on your pattern of hairloss. Propecia will help slow or stop that process.
