Tryingtodecide

Hi there Matt, Thank you for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated. I have indeed consulted with 3 Doctors online and have gotten the following info from them.. Dr. Bernstein : approximately 1500 grafts Dr. Dorin : approximately 1500-1700 Dr. Feller : approximately 1800-2000 Those estimates were based on different pics to the ones i've posted : tho the sent pics had also been clicked very recently. Obviously the docs are the best to decide how many grafts would be required but I was wondering whether 1500-2000 be sufficient to give adequate density compared to my permanent hair and decent coverage? Since I have contrast between the black hair and skin I'm thought I would require as densly packed a hairline as possible. Any idea how deep (cm) the hairline should be? Any advice on what sort of hairline I should be looking at if i'm allright with frontal and top coverage but dont mind crown baldness in the future? Should i choose a conservative hairline or do i have the option to be slightly aggressive regarding it? Also Would i be a candidate for FUE or would that be a bridge too far due to the number of grafts required? Thanks.

Hey guys..Just to give some background info.. 28 year male with mainly frontal hair loss. Started at 15-17 and losing ever since. Gotten to the point where my temples are fully gone and forelock too has become narrow and is continue to thin and move towards the crown. Top and crown seem to be in good shape. Father had decent hair till recently and so did my uncles except one who is nw 6. Mum's side story is not so good- 4 uncles, 3 with nw 5-6 and one nw-3. Currently not on any medication. Am seriously thinking on going for a HT. Goal is to get the frontal hairline back at good density and maybe move it down 1 cm. I dont think that my top and crown are DHT sensitive considering 13 years have not led to much thinning in that area. In that case looking at my pics i've lost almost as much hair as i possible could in the frontal region without being completely bald there hence my rationale for going in for a HT I would really appreciate frank and straight answers to some of the questions buzzing around in my head right now.. 1. Can I think of lowering my hairline a bit more and dense packing it considering after 13 yrs i've not had loss in the crown and top, thus unlikely they being affected by androgenic alopecia. In the future i would not mind having a bald crown if hair loss does progress but obviously would not want balding top. 2.If i consider a conservative hairline with slight lowering and mature temples how many grafts would be required to give good density and decent coverage 3. Looking at my donor area picture any comment whether it appears to be poor, average or better than average. 4. Since the forelock area is thin currently during the Ht procedure will grafts be placed amongst the original hair to bulk it up? 5. If after the HT i lose all the hair i have in the forelock region would i need to have a repeat procedure? Asking because the forelock itself is not too thick right now so wondering whether losing that would have enough cosmetic significance to require a 2nd procedure. Any other opinion you guys have regarding my situationa and further advice? FUE or FUT? I would really appreciate it if some members took the time to see the attached pics and comment on my situation guys.. Am really troubled by my situation. Thanks in advance for the effort in looking at my pics and answering some of my questions.. Cheers!
