Regular Member HappyValley Posted January 13, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum... having lurked around for the past several months I'm 47 and my hairline has been slowing heading north (in a very uneven and patchy way) over the past 15 years. The rest of my hair is fairly dense with no signs of hairloss past my current NW2 or NW3 situation. My hair type is very fine, but luckily I have lots of donor hair. I've posted pics of my hairline and how I wear my hair to conceal my hairloss. I recently have been chatting with Spex (who has been quite helpful) and I had a consult with Dr. Lindsey concerning a FUT procedure. He thinks I'll need between 1500 and 1800 grafts. I was very impressed with Dr. Lindsey and I think I'm ready, after over a decade of "thinking about it", to finally take the plunge and have my hairline restored. Any words of advice or suggestion before I pull the trigger? Much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member sharan9895 Posted January 13, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 13, 2013 You are a Norwood 3 Anterior.... and i think its Stabilised too... (Thick Sides).... Lucky to have that at 47 A Perfect Candidate for an HT as everyone says.... Use about 3000 grafts and you would be so pleased by the results (just my opinion)... Hope you don't lose more hair .... Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spanker Posted January 13, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted January 13, 2013 Your hair actually looks really good. I can understand that you would want a tweak though. Obviously I am not a doctor and you have not really stated you goals but I also believe you would be happier with 2500-3000 or so grafts. At your age, you can afford (in terms of graft usage) that much.
