Guys, More comments please. Anybody who has done HT only in the frontal region (due to low donor area), please advise. Will a 2000-2500 FUT make any improvement in my looks (Norwood 6) or a trim look is the only option?? Can I use body hair, etc to increase the no of follicles transplanted? Thanks.

Hi all, Thanks for the replies and opinions. As I see it I have left with the following options: 1. Trim my hair to level 1 and see how it looks. Start taking medicine to save what is remaining and accept that HT cannot be done in my case. 2, Go ahead with a FUT of 2000-2300 grafts with some hair in the frontal region and accept the results howsoever they are. I loose the option of trimming my hair because of the scar. In future check if some FUE can be done to have some better look. 3. Go for FUE multiple sessions. Not sure after this whether I will have an option to have a trim look or not. As for consulting good doctors I have consulted with DHI New Delhi, Dr. Madhu (Hyderabad), Dr. Ashok (Hyderabad). Comments: DHI said FUE not advisable. Dr. Madhu: He said 2000-2300 FUT in first session and 800-900 FUE in second after seeing the results. But the results will not be miraculous and said the decision is up to me. I can go ahead or leave as it is. Dr. Ashok: He gives a package and indicated a bigger coverage area. I guess the density will be lesser. I want to consult more doctors to check whether with my donor area more no of FUT can be done. People suggesting Mega/Giga sessions, I would like to know any contacts where I can send my photos and get a rough feedback whether these mega sessions are possible or not. People thanks for the frank and blunt opinion. I do not want to become a case study of what not to do. So please continue giving your opinions. Thanks.

Please see my current photos. I am looking for a hair transplant. I m in Norwood scale 6. I consulted few hair transplant surgeons in India including the ones recommended here. My recipient area is very big as I am in Norwood 6 and the donor area is scanty as seen from the my pics.The recommended doctor have told me that I can go for 2000-2300 FUT. The area covered will be around 58 sq cm (2300 @ 40 per sq cm). This will be in the frontal region from the hairline going back. This is very less as compared to the total bald area. I am worried about the looks after the transplantation whether it will actually improve my current looks or degrade it. Also whether it will be natural to have hair only in the frontal region without any hair at the crown like a Zebra crossing. Need advise from experts and people what to do? Whether to go ahead and do it. The advise from the doctor was not very promising and he stated that I should not expect a miracle. He was skeptical and told be that the choice is mine. The junior doctor told me that what matters is the frontal look and it will improve. I don't know what to do? Any people who have done similar transplantation. Another concern is if the results are not good and I decide to go bald, the scar will be visible.
