Hi, so after years of looking into a transplant, I'm finally close to pulling the trigger but I have some questions before doing so. One question is, in the attached photo, they mention lowering my hairline just a little. My problem area is the frontal area of my head and everything else is fine. The hairline isn't receded too much but could use some thickening towards to the temples. My question involving that is, is there a significant downside for them to lower my hairline as shown in the pic? I don't mind them lowering it but I am afraid of adding extra risk to the procedure. Another concern of mine is over harvesting. They're giving me an estimate of 2500-3000 grafts without seeing me in person. My final question is, what are some questions/concerns I should be presenting in my final consultantion and is there any other things I need to be on the lookout for that would be helpful in finalizing this decision to have the best experience and best results. Thanks.

Thanks so much. Will definitely look into the latter part and make sure it is indeed MBP.

Oh wow. Def will look into this as well. Thanks again.

Thanks so much for the quick reply. I am on oral finasteride but not topical. I will look into the topical variation, though. Thanks!

Hi, I'm in the beginning stages of learning about hair transplants for afro hair and just wanted some feedback on what I should look for and expect with my situation. I'm African American, early 30's, in the U.S. and my thinning has been the same for over 5 years now. It's not that noticable when it's brushed and cut properly but it looks bad enough to where I wear a hat most of the time especially if isnt freshly cut. The thinning is just on the top/middle. Everywhere else is pretty thick. Like really thick when it grows out. I guess my main concerns at this point is if im a good candidate first of all, around how many grafts am I looking, how much money I should have saved up, what Doctors I should be looking at and anything else worth noting. I know I will eventually need to see an actual doctor but I just wanted to get a good feel out here before moving forward. Thanks.
