Senior Member djdennis Posted January 2, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted January 2, 2008 I guess I did not do as much homework on this area,but still safe since my ht will be done feb 7th 2008. If someone could take a look at my web blog pics and tell me what I should be achieving that would be great!!! I am having 2400 grafts done on just my frontal area with no lowered hairline to have a natural look. I want to have my military hair style back and I wear it about 3 inches long with buzzer on the sides and back with a fade. My hair is very fine like an asian person. lol Thanks My Hair Loss WebLog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Janna Posted January 3, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hi, Hmmm, most asian hairs not typically described as very fine. It's usally thick and coarse. The density is also typically lower than someone with blonde or light brown hairs. My guess from your one pic you provided, you need coverage for the frontal 1/2 of your head. You could probably use 3,000-3500 for the frontal 1/2, but your density in the donor may now allow for that many. 2-2500 will give you a decent coverage-somewhere around 30-40/cm2. You're in good hand with Dr. E. I'm sure he has a plan and knows how to allocate the grafts to give you max coverge. Good luck!

Senior Member TheEmperor Posted January 3, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted January 3, 2008 There is a very real possibilty that you will not be able to buzz your sides and back without seeing the scar or a ridge in the hair caused by the scar. Everyone is differnt in terms of how the sar shows. I still think strip is the way to go, but be forewarned that your expectations may not be in line with what you may get. Good luck.

Senior Member notgoing2gobald Posted January 3, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted January 3, 2008 Personally I would go with more than 2400. Maybe you could tell us what your expectations are as far as density goes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
