Does this patient look more like a noorwood 5 diffuse?

It was UK Wimpole Clinic London Harley Street. The consultancy I had was in Brighton.

I had somewhat similar recession to you I had 3000 grafts but I got fine hair that's black on light skin

Okay interesting. I appreciate that. I had a consultation recently for the temples and they quoted me 1000 grafts which I thought seemed fewer than I personally expected. But I am not an expert. 

Who was the consult with? 

Just now, Jack97 said:

Probably, but I'm hoping when I go on finasteride that will sort it. 

 

Nice you prob need 1200-1800 grafts

Are you also thinning on top?

You prob need atleast 3000 grafts you look over a noorwood 3 you should take meds and see how you respond without meds you will probably be a noorwood 5 maybe a 6 in the future

Looks good!!

Thank you for your honesty sir.
My glabella to hairline is exactly 7cm spot on.  The highest point would be 8cm at the temples from the same reference distance.

Density work is definitely needed, 100%.
But I am insecure about the shape of the temporal corners.

Eugenix also offered this solution in the past;

Additional info;
My lowest point of the hairline is 7cm from the glabella (middle of eyebrows).

Mines is 5.9 wish it was 4.5 lol

A hell of a lot of grafts and a tiny amount of brain cells. No sane person wants a 15 year old's hairline!

I wish I had that hairline maybe I'm insane lol

How many grafts would one need to achieve this hairline? Assuming started from a noorwood 2 hairline and has medium hair thickness

He's a 2 what about him?

I think your donor has recovered well. Afro hair can get away with straighter hairlines. 

What hairline do you see with Asians in nature?

Na I don't think you do @Melvin- Admin would you say this is a diffuse noorwood 5?

Just now, Bandit90 said:

Yes, my beard is extremely dense. Dr said he could take another 1000 more grafts and not compromise the aesthetics.  

I'm guessing your beard is similar to mine after 5 days no shave ?I plan on using my beard hair also if I do become a high noorwood 1 day

Is your beard naturally very dense ? Over 3500 grafts from beard seems alot

Ok, that helps.

If that's SMP it's a rather unusual design. For a HT, you could bring that down a little bit by maybe creating a widows peak - it'll make the mid-frontal point lower but without blasting through loads of grafts by bringing everything down - sort of like the designs Dr Pittella does (search through the forum to find some cases for reference).

I'm a bit confused by what you're trying to achieve though. If you want to rock a buzzcut and use a HT to give more of a 3D effect to your SMP, then you'll need to cover the whole scalp as you're roughly a NW6. But at the same time you're talking about dense packing the hairline and lowering it quite aggressively. These two things are in contradiction with each other.

I thin you need to be a little clear about exactly what it is you want to achieve here. For starts, your SMP look really high up and very asymmetrical. I'm not sure how much use it will be for you in enhancing your hairline if you have surgery. In which case, aren't you going to get more bang for you buck by getting a HT with the normal desire to grow your hair out longer? And if you are going for the SMP/HT combo 3D effect, I'd have thought you'd also want to get some better SMP than what you've had done currently.

Either way, you're always better off starting more conservative with the hairline placement. Hairlines can easily be made lower later on if you have the donor supply. Going back up because you started too low is much harder and at least double the cost!

Why do you want an aggressive hairline? In one of your previous threads you said you're a NW5 or so... Going aggressive is risky due to the possibility of future hair loss and in virtually all cases it's totally unnecessary - an appropriately placed hairline will frame the face and give a great aesthetic outcome. It doesn't have to be needlessly aggressive.

You'd almost certainly be better off going for a dense, conservative approach rather than chasing density AND being aggressive with a low hairline.

I have a noorwood 4 pattern maybe Norwood 5 but I still have a lot of hair normal people can't see much balding the doctor gave me a pretty aggressive hairline

Because you don't know the extent of the hair loss.

If I had had a hair transplant at 20 to lower my hairline, I would have been in a disastrous situation. I wouldn't have enough donor supply left to cover my middle and crown. I would be left with an unnatural-looking patch of hair. Medication is not fail-proof. I have seen many say they will stick with meds, but the minute they experience side effects, they abandon meds. Also, medication doesn't cure or stop hair loss for everyone. There is no guarantee you won't continue to thin.

Furthermore, the expectations of a 20-year-old will be very high. They will want to get the hairline of a 20-year-old. While that is understandable, it isn't what is realistic. If you start balding in your late teens or early 20s, the chances of you becoming significantly bald are high. Getting a low and straight hairline can and most likely will prove to be a disaster you regret. I have seen so many men wish to return to look like an average balding person. 

I hope I dont become very bald I'm 27 almost 28
