I got 3500 grafts myself  in the frontal 3rd and I had less than you at the front- you can check out my thread.  I’m sure 3000 would be enough for a good density in that area for you. Even better or less if you get some more thickening on other meds

Your result is good man, how bald were u on the top? It’s abit frizzy but man I’d prefer some hair then none any day. As long as it looks somewhat natural. I’m just worried I’ll do more damage then help if I do ht. Or if I should wait in the future to do it when there is better technology to deal with my limited donor. Be honest you reckon I should not do it and what result can really expect. I just wanna rock short hair always.

Your result is pretty good man, how was your donor prior to transplant? My donor and overall hairloss is pretty bad. Who’d you go to? Honestly you think I should try or just not do ht. I don’t expect perfection. But some density would be life changer as long as it looked natural. It’s okay if it’s not the densest

Hi I think your case is interesting as you probably regained some ground on Fin+min, so have a lot of miniaturized hair, a hairline and a crown that doesn’t dip: a true diffuse thinner in other words.

I would look into some other meds to give the hair more of a boost tbh, specifically, dut, oral minoxidil (as you apparently tolerate topical well) and maybe RU. Would then give it 6 months and reassess the HT. I would favor a more conservative approach in your case now so reading between the lines, of the two would go with Gur.

Thank you, would 3000 3500 grafts in the front and mid as they suggest be thick or sparse or just okay, what does that density look like exactly?

(QUESTIONS).                    ————————————————Need advice on proposals of gur and turan, which one ? Is ht for me ill adviced? I don’t expect perfection. They suggest 2 transplants, first 3500 being on front and mid. Then the second ht 1700 on crown if there is donor left for the crown. I do have some beard grafts which they are open to using on the crown. Is it really possible to have some donor left after first transplants? and how much density can I really expect? I am worried that after the first surgery I will not have any grafts left for the crown, so then should I go get a mega session else where that will priotize coverage over density? Lastly I am a major diffuse thinner so does that mean that the diffuse thinning hairs which are many and densely packed will die? And in my case will shock loss be a real problem?

( HISTORY and GOALS) ——————————————————29 years old, been on Finasteride and monxidil for long time hair loss has stabilised, I am major diffuse thinner and quite far gone. thinning is in the entire top of head and mainly crown. My donor is also quite limited but I’ve been quoted for atleast 3000-4000grafts or so. I’m happy to just continue buzzing my head and the ultimate goal would be to eventually rock a fade haircut with short hair. I just want all the zones to be thicker and closer to full coverage as possible even though I know that’s probably not possible. is this a dumb proposal or should I go to somewhere that will do a mega session all over aka cosmedica? FYI The donor looks abit different when hair is abit longer.

Yeah thats what i am concerned about..so be on medication and other non surgical therapies for long and than reassess your situation 

I’ve been on Finasteride for years now

@Adriam to get good results you have to be on medication religiously my friend ....you said you are on finasteride and now you don't seen more hairloss progression so the finasteride can be a reason for that...so the same way you can be on minoxidil regularly and that will make you hairs more fuller and thicker which will give you better coverage and evrythng will look more dense...you can also try non surgical therapies like prp and mesotherapy and all...

You should have an in person consultation first with a good doctor which is nearby and get your scalp checked and see whether you are a fit candidate of a HT at the moment or not..cause from your pics (though many a times pics are deceptive) your donor looks very thinned out...so get your scalo checked....i hope this helps you ..best of luck..

Good advice yeah I know my donor is bad, I’ve been told by one clinic before i wasn’t suitable.

if i was you id consider smp for the crown, that would be probably the easiest solution for you

 

does smp work at a length like op has it right now? @hairthere

 

Actually I spoke with a spm services once they didn’t advise it. I think since then I’ve regained a little ground. I had double jaw surgery 8months ago has a mini shed but mostly been staying looking like this lool

Better to grow 2 weeks from now to see if it's not too soon for having a hair transplant procedure.

Too soon what do you mean? Yeah plan to grow out. Is that a good sign?

I use it everyday. Doesn’t make much of difference anymore

I’ve had severe balding and thinning for a long time since I was 20 (28 now). About 2-3 years ago I made the jump on Finasteride permanently, with periods of monidixil use every now and then, I did see some regrowth and now hair loss has mostly stopped. I’m wondering from my short shaved head what you guys think honestly. Do I have a shot ? My donor seems weak imo. I’d most likely continue to keep my hair short or buzzed, my crown is my main concern. Lastly any clinics you guys would recommend please let me know! I’m thinking of heading to turkey.
