Hey,
So probably the most asked question.
I am looking to restore some sort of hair on my head with a mature hairline. I know I'm never going to achieve amazing results but I would love to achieve somewhere in between.
I've had a consultation with an adviser and been told that I will need 2 x procedures. 1.) 3000 grafts from back/sides to go on front & middle 2.) More grafts using back/sides/beard to go on crown. They said I will have a reasonable coverage at from but will still be thin at back. I really don't want to start messing with my beard as I think beard hair would look odd when I have straight hair normally and don't want to lose my beard fullness, but would if it was a deal breaker.
Pictures are my head shaved to 1mm about 1 week ago. I usually trim every few days but decided to grow out to see what the growth was like.
I'm 42 and went bald between 18-24.
I'm thinking that it's worth a go but worried that if it looks rubbish and I want to shave it again, I will be left with a horrible looking donor area. Alternatively the donor area looks good and the transplanted hair ads a nice shaved look on top.
Anyone had a similar journey?
