Thank you for this. I appreciate the detailed response and images. Another reputable clinic advised that they would do the first FUE procedure at 2500-3000 grafts and do the frontal 1/3. Then the second surgery they will try to harvest around 2500 grafts to add density in the mid-scalp and the frontal crown. Is there a reason they are capping their graft amount on the first FUE to 2500-3000 and not pushing to 4,000? Is there more of a risk @ 4,000 grafts? Also, should I have posted this in another section of the forum? I was hoping to get more feedback. EDIT: Also, I'm going to start taking half the dose of finasteride and start out @ 3x a week for now and start going full dose 3x a week (1.25mg).

I understand your concerns but closing 30 in a few months and I no longer have the ability to style it. What was your hair transplant journey like? When did you do it? Where? What procedures/grafts? Maybe it's more about being conservative at the start and planning well? I am hesitant to do FUT but it seems most say it's the way to go with aggressive hair loss. I do not want a scar that's visible. I know FUE isn't technically scarless but I've seen in person individuals who have done 4,000+ FUE procedure and can barely tell, even when they're shaved down pretty short.

Hey I attached it. I never had a procedure done. That weird line is because I was wearing a hat right before taking the pictures.

I'm 29, aggressive hair loss, started around 21. Father's side grandfather is NW7, father is NW5. I do like to wear my hair short, not like military grade, I really don't know what clip, I'll ask my hair-cutter next time! I would want to create something reasonable, mature, but also make it look like I don't necessarily need another HT. So a moderate/reasonable hairline and fill in the temples a little bit. My primary focus would be to work on the frontal 2/3rd and work on the crown in the future. Obviously, ideal would be to touch upon everywhere, but trying to stay realistic. I'm not on fin or rogaine. Fin made me feel very lethargic and depressed. Doctor said this isn't normal, but once I stopped days later I was fine. Open to suggestions. Based on the east coast but willing to travel wherever in the world.
