4000 grafts - around 10-12K hairs. Even beyond that, I have hair similar to Indians (I'm from a small country near the mediterranean) - very thick, coarse and wavy. It's equivalent of 8,000 grafts on a Caucasian person. The difference in density has been very very minimal up top. I expected a huge difference - my crown is still super thin and there are patches that look thin as hell also - I'm only 30 and this will just get worse next 20 years. I didn't care about a density reduction on side - my sides are super thick and full Here are the pictures he sent me, I look like a NW0, which is a huge crock of horseshit. My density is awful in real life. the 3rd is my own picture and you can see how bald my crown is and the horrible looking patches. First picture is his after, 2nd is his before and 3rd is mine after. I suspect this is an industry wide pattern so I'm not all that upset at Dr Keller. I suspect he did a decent job but this is all you can expect from a transplant and that you really need about 40,000 hairs to make any difference for somebody like myself (which is impossible with current technology)

Biggest mistake of my life. I did a 4000 graft surgery with Dr Richard Keller. The hairline looks a little better and crown looks slightly better but I was expecting some real density difference and my density is still terrible (I'm a diffuse thinning NW2.5V). I also can't figure out where the hell the 12,000 hairs went - I see some of it in my hairline and some in crown, but I see nothing else I would very very strongly recommend against hair transplants for most young men here. HTs are really only for people like Henry Cavill (the Superman guy) who has very good density in middle and crown but just has a receding hairline. If you have lost density in middle and crown, you're past the point of hope. Just shave your head, grow a beard and grow some muscles. If you've lost density in middle and crown, it's just too hard to regain that. Even on somebody like myself who had very good hair texture and donor area, it did very little for me. Hair transplants are for slowly balding people with good density but just a receding hairline Even worse now, I'll have to shave my head in 5-10 years and I'll have to deal with this scar. I really wish somebody would have talked me out of it - biggest waste of 14,000 dollars in my life. I could have taken that money and gone on 4 beautiful vacations with my girl. The worst aspect of this is that Dr Keller has taken pictures of me showing an unbelievable transformation and those pictures are a total crock. My density is still terrible but I suspect this is not just Dr Keller - this is an industry wide issue How bad will this scar be when I shave my head? Should I buzz it with a 1 or razor shave it?
