Hairpleaseforme

Thanks all or the responses. Very informative. Is there any way to guesstimate my donor area availability without looking under microscope? I'm attaching photo of donor area in case it helps at all.

I saw this SMG patient before/after. Is this result unrealistic for me? I would be thrilled with this and thought that this patient's before photo was a pretty decent comp. Major 25

Long time lurker, first time poster. 39 yo. Around NW 4-5. Propecia for about 15 years. I am just starting the process of consulting with doctors for my FUT. I have visited one doctor so far and he strongly discouraged touching my crown. He suggested FUT of ~ 3000 grafts concentrated on frontal hairline only. I am willing to be reasonable and conservative, but this is disappointing because I am very unhappy with the crown area. His reasoning was that (a) if he did the crown I could continue to lose hair up top and this would create a ridiculous look down the road, and (b) donor supply could be depleted by doing just the frontal hairline. I understand the logic, but am having a hard time appreciated whether the limitations here start and end with my own hair situation, or perhaps the doctors own skill and creativity. Attached photo is me.
