Thank you. I am in the UK.

Hi, I am 39. What are the bigger concerns? I will look to share a video in a couple of weeks to provide a clearer picture. Many thanks.

I have no set ideas for the style I want in the future - just having more/some to play with will be nice! To clarify, I was under the impression that a close shave in the donor area would highlight where grafts had been removed and that longer hair would better cover this. Are you saying a close shave in the donor areas is actually a good/feasible option?

Thank you. I have never done anything previously to mitigate my hair loss e.g. drugs. I am quite settled on the idea of a conservative/mature hairline - probably the kind that would lead many to undertake a hair transplant procedure! But I'm more at the happy with whatever I can get stage! Are you suggesting that if I had a shaved back and sides in the future I should not be over-concerned about the donor area? This is a new concept to me as I was under the impression I would need to grow this out to compensate for any loss in that area.

Thank you. Of the six clinics I have 'consulted' i.e. submitted photos to, the average figure would be 3,200 grafts. The latest feedback that they do not recommend I undertake FUE at all has concerned me.

Hi Firstly I'd like to say thank you to those who contribute to this forum and providing such valuable information. I have been reading quite a lot of the topics in recent weeks. I am scheduled to undergo an FUE transplant early in the New Year. Based on photos I have submitted to various surgeries I have been advised my donor area can provide anything from 2,800 to up to 4,500 grafts. The clinic who I am due to have my procedure with in January has advised my donor area is good and will enable them to extract 4,000 grafts, perhaps even up to 4,500. With a mature/conservative hairline they say this should cover everything with the exception of the crown. However I have just heard back from another clinic who say they would only be able to extract between 2,000 - 3,000 from my donor area and say they would not recommend I undergo FUE surgery as this would only create the hairline and nothing more. I have provided some photos based on growing my hair for approx 3 weeks after a 1mm shave. Does anyone have any opinions on the suitability of my donor area? Thank you for your time.
