Help regarding count of grafts

[bechkam7]

Hi,

 

I am from India. I want to do hair transplant as i have lost lots of hair on my forehead. I am attaching some pics of mine. Can anyone help me determine the number of grafts required. Also i have lost adequate quantity of hair in crown section also. I consulted my doc. He said I will require around 1400 grafts I seriously doubt that. Also I have decide to have transplant from Dr. Madhu who is recommended in this forum.

Please advice.

 

Thanks,

The number of grafts you were told sounds about right, it depends on where you are thinking of transplanting. You are not a candidate to transplant in the crown, you are only a candidate to transplant to the hairline, temples and corners at this point. You should use minoxidil and finasteride to help regrow hair in the crown or at least retarding the loss. I would say anywhere from 1400-2000 grafts would be appropriate depending on the design and if they are planning on dropping the hairline in the front and how far down.
