Hi there, I have been reading this forum for over a year now and have recently emailed 6 doctors that are mentioned here for an assessment of my receding hairline. Responses were generally prompt and helpful although interestingly the estimates are not all similar. My email specifically requested estimation of grafts needed to rectify : a) my receding hairline and b) the crown area. The following are the responses that I have received : Doctor A - 1200 grafts to lower the hairline and 2300 to do dense packing at the top. Doctor B - 2000-2500 grafts for the hairline. This doctor recommended that I use hair loss medication for the crown area. Doctor C - 2500-3000 graft to create hairline. 2000-2500 to add density to the mid scalp. The crown was not mentioned. Doctor D - 2300-2700 grafts. Doctor E - 1800-2000 defined hairline. 800-1000 for crown area. Doctor F - 2200-2500 grafts. In addition to the following photographs I should also mention that my hair loss occurred in my late 20's which prompted me to research the matter and subsequently discover finasteride. I have been taking finasteride for approximately 7 years with very negligible additional loss . I am currently 37. I would really appreciate opinions using the provided photographs to answer the following questions : a) How many grafts seems suitable for me to reconstruct the hairline back to its original form ? b) How poor is the density in my midscalp and crown region. How many grafts would I require to alleviate the situation ? c) Does my donor area look capable of providing the grafts required ? Thanks. Regards, PowderedToastMan. Top Front Rear
