Senior Member Abedogg Posted April 29, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted April 29, 2014 Hi Guys, I had an FUE about 5 years ago and overall it's done a good job of framing my face. I definitely didn't get 100% growth and I have a big area that is lacking any hair on my right side. I've always had a cowlick in the middle of my hairline but since my first hair transplant, my hairline now sticks up and looks a little crazier than before (it used to lay flat). So, I'd like to know how many grafts you think I need to get a better result. I'm ok, with lowering the hairline just a tad if needed but primarily just want more thickness and to fix the gaps and hopefully fix some of the craziness of my hair so it's more manageable. I'd like to go with H&W this time. I don't want to do another FUE. I'd like to get it right this time and hopefully be done with it. These pictures are right out of the shower. I have some pics with gel in my blog and my pre-transplant journey as well. Thoughts?

Senior Member FUE2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted April 29, 2014 Your hair looks pretty good to me so to my untrained eye I wouldn't have thought more than 1500 grafts would be necessary......what sort of number did you have in mind?

Senior Member Abedogg Posted April 29, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 29, 2014 I was thinking around 1500 to 2000. Frankly, whatever it takes to get an awesome result. Had 3k With Umar on Feb 16, 2009 My Hair Loss Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spanker Posted April 29, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted April 29, 2014 Can't see your donor, are you sure that you are a candidate? I agree with the above that 1500 to 2000 (without lowering the hairline at all) would serve you well.

Senior Member Spanker Posted April 29, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted April 29, 2014 I don't see any reason that you could not get what you need out that donor to give you the bump you are looking for. Looking at the profile (side view) I would say 1500-1800 to boost the top and another 600 to boost the sides, but the number that is most important is what H and W quotes you. I would send your pics in. I am an online representative for Dr. Raymond Konior who is an elite member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.

Senior Member hairthere Posted April 29, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted April 29, 2014 Looks like a healthy donor. 1500-2k in the frontal third would do the trick, IMO.

Senior Member 1978matt Posted April 29, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted April 29, 2014 Without reading the other replies I thought 2000 grafts. 4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013 1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018 763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020 Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dutch Posted April 30, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted April 30, 2014 1800 grafts should do it but the clinic would give you the best estimate http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=2329 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
