Hello fellow bald(ish) dude! I'm brand new here, desperately looking for some tips or insights... Ok so I have a Norwood 7 kind of baldness, with a mediocre donor area, so naturally I'm not really a good candidate for a transplant. Thus I'm not looking for a 'classic' transplant, rather for one that will create a buzz-cut look,really high on the sides up until the middle of the scalp, creating a "horseshoe" kinda shape, but primarily focusing on recreating a hairline. I've consulted with numerous surgeons with various answers (mostly negative, naturally..) Anyway I still have some issues: 1. Did anyone ever hear about someone who had this kind of transplant? i.e. one that intended for a buzz-cut and nothing more? as I'm yet to find a surgeon who did one as such, nor did I encounter an example of someone who had one one.. 2. So you might wonder why is finding a precedent is such a big deal. The thing is, I see a fundamental difference between a 'classic' and my kind of desired transplant - the density. When had started losing my hair back in the day, I shaved it, nevertheless people kept wondering why don't I grow it, as as it was viewed as if I could have grow it fully. That state of affairs had kept going for more than 15 years, to the point that I had left with just a few thin hairs, but spread in an optimal way (that state has changed following Covid). So as I figure there's a huge gap in density combined with the lack of people having this (buzz-cut) as their goal from the get-go, might lead to pessimistic evaluations. So basically, I'm looking for someone that might have any insight regarding the proportions in density 3. Is there such a thing as clinics/surgeons that happen to specify in Norwood7 cases? 4. Does my desire of not growing hair at all, on my sides and back, serve me in a sense that it's plausible to have each and every hair from there to be harvested? 5. Did anyone encountered a patient who had a successful transplant, with roughly my hair situation? Lastly, I'm basically looking to have some kind of even minor differentiation between my forehead and my head (sadly havn't yet to find any SMP result that seem descent..). You know how some bald guys have this, this different ,darker hue, so the scalp doesn't seem as an extension of the forehead? I have an example in one of the photos attached... Many thanks to the brave ones who survived thus far, really, can't thank enough
