Advise on Hair Transplant

[aliaqum]

Hair transplant has been on my mind for the last 5 years. However I had some reservations on the procedure which kept me from taking the plunge. Having looked at such good success stories on this forum and other people around me I have decided to take the plunge.

 

I have consulted a couple of surgeons who have recommended the HT but with very different amounts of grafts. One recommends 2600 and other recommends 4500. The later claims high density packing and is based in Turkey.

 

My current state is NW 3-4, since the last 5 years, as the hair loss has been very stable. I have receded hairline however, the crown and almost half of the mid section is intact with good density. I have never taken any medication for hair loss. Just recently started the application of Nutirgrow Herbal Formula recently for an attempt to reactivate some of the dormant follicles that you may notice in the picture

 

I am requesting the forum to provide some suggestions on the hair transplant especially the no of grafts that I should consider.

 

Thanks

To be honest the herbal supplement will likely do nothing for your hairloss, propecia is the best drug you can take, it works.

 

3k grafts plus i'd say, but your hair thickness and quality of donor, as well as your likely end point in terms of hair loss (what NW you end up) are all important, espeically if you want a HT but won't take propecia, as any doctor worth his salt will take in to consideration your future loss and plan accordingly.

i think consulting a professional would be the best option. and in your own case, natural remedies might not be the best option

Don't bother with any supplements they are useless for the most part and a drain on money. Only propecia / finasteride and minoxidil are of any real potency , and both are questionable efficacy when it comes to hairline and frontal third of the scalp.

 

You are actually a good candidate for a transplant given your hair shaft thickness , atleast from what I can see in the pictures .

 

Probably need 2000-2500 grafts but again, you will get the best advice from a recommended surgeon , many of which do phone and Skype consultations. Pick someone who is skilled with hairlines.

I agree with the answers given above. I would also suggest consulting with a skilled professional nearby you. A professional should be able to guide you better and get you better results.

Best of Luck!
