Hey guys - I just got back after consulting with a HT surgeon in my area. After looking at my scalp he said that my hair loss begins at my frontal hair line and goes all the way back to the crown and so I don't have enough donor hair to cover all of the bald area. He said the best option is to reconstruct just the front portion with a reasonable amount of donor grafts so that I won't have a huge scar at the back. The crown will have to be left as is. Even if I considered multiple rounds of surgery, he said he would be able to advance further towards the crown but he would never be able to completely cover it. It was disappointing to hear this since I would still be left with a bald crown after the surgery. Have any of you been in this situation before and decided to do anything different? Are there any other options that I could be missing here? Thanks for your comments.
