My family history of hair loss not strong, I would call it medium. No one has gone bald before 50, and those guys didn't even have finasteride. I say I am content with my hair because at 35 I've seen worse, but my hairline is thin and there is indeed loss: Feller and Bloxham recommended 1500-200 grafts, HW recommended 2000-2500 FUE. I will go with their judgement as I know both are ethical surgeons. Is donor ok to have 2500 FUE?

I'm booked in for 2,000-2,500 grafts to strengthen the hairline and slightly close temples. I think I've done everything right - I'm not that young, 35, and my before/after photos have not changed much since starting finasteride in 2018, and my loss is relatively minor compared to most patients I see, NW2 perhaps, and I am booked in with what you guys here seem to commonly refer to as one of the top surgeons in the world, and my surgery goals are not agressive. I have questions, I cannot find the ones searching on these forums: 1. I've seen a few forum posts of guys who had transplants, but then a few months after the transplant suddenly lose a lot of the rest of their hair, even in something like the crown where they weren't even having work done. What if I'm one of those guys where surgery kicks my baldness progression into overdrive? 2. Due to the pandemic, my photos were sent in. I followed Joe Tillman's guide on sending in photos, and I believe the photos I sent were good. But what happens if I get there and they have a closer look and decide either I haven't lost enough hair, or alternatively, that I am bound to lose much more hair and my goals cannot be achieved. And this is AFTER I paid the deposit. I'm 'content' with the way I look right now, and I don't want to ruin it. But at the same time I know I'll be kicking myself later if I don't do this, I wont get the time off again, I really want to. So yeah, scared.
