Density at the hairline/front looks amazing. How were grafts distributed across? I did see you mentioned 2500 at front and rest crown but later decided to add to mid scalp as well, so was it 2500 at front, 2000 at crown and ~300 at mid scalp?

@Knightrider I am having similar baldness level as your pre-op pics at Eugenix. Lot of hair loss at crown and diffused mid-scalp with big forehead. I am looking if i should get my crown or front hairline HT first, it looks like you went with only crown and mid-scalp HT and not touching front hairline? Is this the case? And what is the distribution of grafts in your case and how has it shaped up now? Do you recommend Comprehensive Package and Dr. Vinita after your 6 months journey?

If front hairline and crown has to be done in 2 different procedures with a year apart, you are mentioning if I can tolerate fin get hairline first and then crown next?

As you mentioned your case is extremely similar to mine, do you think ~1500-1700 grafts at crown wont give much density and still the scalp will be visible? Taking graft survivability into account as well as pointed by Shadman above

This is something very similar to what Eugenix has proposed. But if i go ahead with HT and then start on fin for mid-scalp but get to know I cannot tolerate it and stop it, with the current plan of ~1500-1700 at crown and 2000 at front, after a year of growth for transplanted hair do you think with my existing hair state I would get into baldness patch in between crown and front? My only option at this point would be another HT for mid-scalp? And if I start fin now and get to know I cannot tolerate it what would my options be? My donor area seems average so wondering will I be able to have transplants for all 3 areas - crown, mid-scalp and front - with front being important to appear not balding and would have to accept some patchiness at mid-scalp or crown without taking fin? Or better to give up on HT if fin poses a problem?

Thank You for the opinion and pointer on Eugenix.

I am 32 years old with family history of baldness and I have been losing hairs slowly in the last 4-5 years mainly in the crown region and now in mid-scalp section. I am now thinking of getting hair transplant. Below are the current options I am considering which was given to me. Option 1 by Pioneer Advanced Hair Transplant Centre Bangalore with in person meeting: 3000 +/- 200 grafts to be removed from my donor. ~2500 for crown area and rest in mid-scalp, nothing for the front hairline. I did mention my preference of hair density would be crown > mid-scalp > front hairline and even the Dr also mentioned this would be his recommendation as I have average quality donor and to focus mainly on crown and mid-scalp. He also mentioned even after transplanting 2500 grafts in crown, it would be slightly better than my current mid-scalp area look/density wise. Option 2 by Eugenix based on online pics shared: Got the initial evaluation and have attached the image with their plan (one in black t-shirt). The confusion I am having is: 1. Will Eugenix initial plan of ~1500-1700 for crown result in lower density at crown? Since Dr at Pioneer mentioned even ~2500 would still result in slightly better than my current mid-scalp, I am looking for opinion from this forum how would the ~1500-1700 look after a year of growth based on my baldness level at crown? 2. Currently my order of preference for HT density wise is crown > mid-scalp > front hairline. But is this the right way of thinking to focus more on crown? Because I did read in some posts here to not place too much focus on crown as it is kind of black hole but again this answer could be relevant to that specific posts and person's hair loss at crown. Based on my hair loss wanted to check if I should slightly change my order of preference? My main goal is not to have 1 or 2 patchy areas after 1 year of HT, rather have good density at crown and mid-scalp region. But I am not sure if am putting too much priority on crown? 3. When I checked with Eugenix if mid-scalp will not be receiving any hair transplant, their response was "our plan is to focus on the frontal and crown areas for treatment. It is possible that the mid-scalp may see improvement with medication in the upcoming months". Is it fine for me to depend only on fin to maintain current mid-scalp hair? What if I have severe side affects of fin and I need to stop taking it, wouldn't this result in losing my mid-scalp hair and result in baldness in between crown and front? (I will be asking this question to Eugenix while also looking for unbiased answer from this forum). With above 2 options, I am confused between which one is better. With Pioneer it is mainly centered around my preference but with Eugenix I feel they have good reputation and what if their plan makes sense and my thinking around preference is not right. So looking for some answers/advice for my above confusions.
