Hi Bhim, Congrats on your HT ; Even I had my HT last thursday with SMG and my donar area was same as yours so I had ended up with 2642 grafts with the strip measurement of 1.6 cm X 22.5 cm = 36 cm2 Since you have a large area to be covered and with 2400 grafts ; Dr madhu has taken the correct approach ; even if you had been to any other Docs ; they would have the same recommendation But the brighter part is your hair is coarse and wavy which gives fuller .Even I am an asian Indian with the same hair characteristics . please find some of the links for the same amount of area covered with around same grafts Patient Detail Hair Restoration Social Network ?

Hello All, I have been considering to get a HT (Strip) lately ; so had few online consultations with coalition doctors. I wanted to know which approach is better and best suited to my situation . The Approach suggested are : 1) To get 2500 to 4000 grafts on the frontal and a separate procedure for the crown around 2000 grafts . 2) To get a total of around 4000 grafts ( one session ) which comprises of 1500 to 1800 to restore hairline and the front area and 2000 grafts in the crown region . Explanation for the above 2nd approach o The Front § The Immediate Front will have 40 Grafts per Sq cm followed by 30 Grafts per sq cm o The Crown : § Since my loss is more on the posterior of the crown ;hence the Outer surface of the crown will 30 grafts per Sq cm followed by 20 grafts per Sq cm and 10 Grafts per Sq cm. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My hair loss is a classic Male Pattern Baldness ;so expecting to lose more hair in near future. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated . Please find the photos Also find the photos at Picasa Web Albums - 10707540418415652... - Album_hair Thanks

My expectations are Donor Density: 80-100/Fu/cm2 and a natural hair line which resembles my 2003/2005 photos I need your advice regards which physician would is the best for One session ( 4000- 5000 Grafts ) and Natural hairline .Since most of the this forum patients have done HT's with these physicians .
