OK 600 is does seem reasonable, but you guys making me paranoid now. I just shaved my hair so I can not take any good photos for hairloss analysis. I have lost some of my hair photos for better overview with longer hair. I believe I am not diffuse thinning when my hair is short it clumps up ( 1 inch to like 3 inch growth) after that it start looking normal. Here is my 8ish month post-op with same light. I do have some loss in the back nothing crazy + I also had an accident where my head got split on top leaving me with bald spot as well, so I am used to folks telling me I have a bald spot since I was like 10.

Wet longer hair with on same day brush to the side

Here are my photos somewhat before my first transplant: 

different light same hair

You think I still need entire scalp? I am hella paranoid now.

I'm a bit confused on what area you want to have restored. The pictures you showed earlier show a diffuse Norwood 5. I would imagine you would require more than 600 grafts. However, this last picture looks great. So were those other pictures before having surgery? And now this new picture is your current hair?

I’m a little confused too, your hair in that last photo where it’s grown out looks good. With a little bit of fiber if you really cared too you’d look covered

Here is my post-up btw.

I am always on the go and active, my head gets sweaty fibers probably would make my hairline look like it's actually crying (lol). I am aiming to restore visual density without any additional fibers.

I see how it might be a bit confusing, it just direction of light. It's very harsh light going against my hair direction + my hair being like one inch long. I think first picture best shows my loss (wet, longer hair). 

This is when my hair is dry w/o super harsh light, but I do have light right over my head in this picture as well. I showed different pictures sadly do not have those anymore, also I video chatted with Dr.Diep when I had longer hair  and showed him my frontal loss in detail (5 month growth at that time, most of a time I buzz it off due to not wanting to hide my thinning spots right now). I talked to him few months back. I'm currently reassessing my hair.

On fin +5 years, most of pictures I posted are my hair fresh out of shower, I talked to Dr.Diep/Bloxham. Diep quoted around 800 grafts for frontal coverage including slight lowering of left corner and Bloxham quoted around 600. I do have some thinning on top but front is main priority to fix first.  

Picture below is my hair brushed forward, w/o me trying to hide any thinning. If I brush my crown to the side its fairly easy to hide at +4 month growth.

Hawdy folks,

I am currently trying to navigate toward my 2nd transplant. I previously had 1200ish FUE grafts place in front on both sides. Even then I knew I would need some extra grafts in the middle, but opted out just to fill in my temples. Now I am looking to fill in my midscalp and a small patch in the middle of my hairline. Now my question to you folks is how many grafts do you think I need to fill in those areas?

Last transplant in 2019

On fin for +5 years.

Some photos include wet hair. also just shaved my head to see how my hairline is doing.

Thanks for any input!
