No way not enough. Run from this surgeon.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Do you mind explaining why the number of grafts is insufficient?

My goals are conservative in terms of hairline. I don't need a mane, I am happy with hairline retention. What sort of procedure should I aim for, in your perspective?

Hi all,

I recently went to a local clinic for a consultation. I don't think the place is listed here, but it's in Sweden and it's called New Hair Clinic.

So anyway, the surgeon suggested I do 800 FUE grafts to fill in the hairline around my temples, at a thickness of around 35-40 grafts per cm2. The hairline would be shaped in a sort of zig zag pattern, to imitate my natural hairline. I attach pictures for clarity.

I would just like to have your take on the recommendations. Given the state of my hairline (which I guess is a Norwood 2?), would this be sufficient? I am 31 years old, so I expect I will need to have a few more of these as times passes.

Best,

Hi all,

I recently went to a hair restoration clinic for a consultation. The place is in Sweden (where I live), and from what I can tell it's not listed on this site. But they've been active for 25 years, so I figured I would give it a go: https://www.newhairclinic.se/

Anyway, the surgeon suggested I undergo a conservative FUE procedure of around 800 grafts, focused on the thinning areas around the temples, with a density of around 35-40 grafts per cm2.

In your opinion, and based on your impressions from the pictures I have attached, does this seem a reasonable procedure? Or is the area to be covered too small, the graft density to sparse?

I am 31 years old, which I assume means I have to expect further hair loss. This procedure would be followed by further procedures down the road, which I am fine with.

Looking forward to your replies!
