Regular Member cruze14 Posted October 21, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Hi This is my first entry to the website. I have been fighting the great battle now for 6-7 years and have finally gained the courage to have an FUT procedure with Dr Konior. This decision has in no doubt been greatly affected by the knowledge base from the members of this website. I am booked in for early December. My prognosis is approx 3000 grafts but seeing as I am living in Australia I won't know until the day to get a more accurate idea. Pictures can only tell so much. I am hoping to head towards 4000 grafts. My frontal region is thinning and receding along with my crown but my mid section is holding it together. The meds and shampoos have had a very positive affect for a long time along with the concealers but that can't last forever as it just wrecks ones head. I have been able to conceal my hair for a long time and I have taken long service leave for 6 months from work so I can have the surgery and hopefully get back to looking similar if not a whole lot better upon starting work again in June. Ideally I would like to get a strong frontal coverage and get some into the crown. Does anybody have thoughts on what they feel I might get based on my photos. Am I being realistic in my expectation. My photos are with my hair cut to a blade 3 PHOTOS are in my profile. Edited October 21, 2014 by cruze14 Add photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member KO Posted October 21, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted October 21, 2014 You do not need 4000 grafts.....maybe 2000 max. 3382 FUE Lupanzula http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185463-3382-grafts-lupanzula.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member cruze14 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 22, 2014 Thanks for the reply KO, could you add further to your comment. In an ideal world I'd like to just have the one transplant hence looking to maximise grafts used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member FUE2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted October 22, 2014 3000 seems about right (although I'm no doc just some dude on the internet), 1500 to hairline and 1500 to crown....or are you leaving the crown and just focusing on the hairline?

Regular Member cruze14 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'm definitely looking to get as much into the crown as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
