Hello All,
I had a hair transplant back in 1998, about 800 grafts from the Chambers institute in Toronto. I was 29. For a number of years my hairline was ok .
Now 12 years later I am considering another one . Some Dr;s have reccomended 4000 grafts . My thinning is in the frontal area about 2 " in. No Crown thinning thankfully. I am 42 years old.
It was 12 years ago that I had my first transplant , it was a long time ago , almost forgot the pain but I did say at that time I would never get one again.
I had a bit of puffyness around the forhead for a few days but what bothered me the most was the donor area. I swear for years I cound feel the ridge . It was itchy, got pimples , Do I do it again? Few questions , answers , feedback welcome
1) do you find most Dr's reccomend more grafts then needed , the reason why I ask this I look at some Dr's website and I feel I am a certain level of thinning and they think I am worse then what I am ? I am wondering if Dr;s are just lowering my expectations ?
2) 2000 grafts vs 4000 grafts - less pain in the donor area? IF I go with 2000 grafts vs 4000? or about the same ?,small cut or large cut you are still going to have pain?
3) I would think 2000 grafts should make a big cosmetic improvement ? If its going to establish the frontal hairline
My hair is dark brown, corse , olive complextion
thanks to all who comment
