Gorpy, I've actually had a few online consultations and spoken to a couple over the phone; all of them suggested different amount of grafts, but were in the 1000-2000 range. One of the reasons why I posted the pics here is get some thoughts from actual patients and people who are also thinking about moving forward with a HT.
John_in_NC, both my father and grandfather have considerable amount of thinning in the crown area. However, at least in my father's case, it really wasn't noticeable until his early 50's. There is still hair there, but it's very obvious that he's balding. At this point, I'm hoping to combat that issue by continuing to take Proscar. The line you drew is what I'm hoping for.
Hairbank, thanks for the information. Your hairline looks very good! I'm looking to achieve similar results, but lowered a little all around. I'll keep everyone posted.
The B Spot, I am considering a FUE session, but the cost may keep me away ?????
