How many grafts do I need?


Recommended Posts

Hi, i'm 24 years old. I would like to restore my receeding hairline. I have fine, dark hair and I always had a big forehead.

 

Im young, so I dont want to much lower my hairline, maybe max 0,5cm, beacuse I want to save my donor for the future.

 

How many grafts do I need to restore my hairline?

 

This line would make my satisfied:

I would wait. The red flag isn't the location of your hairline (which I understand is a little receded and totally empathize with wanting to do something about), but the fact that you are thinning throughout the top of your scalp. That indicates that advanced baldness is very likely in store. At 24, it's tough to tell how extensively your loss will be, and moving forward with a hairline procedure at your age could be a really devastating decision. The procedure shouldn't take more than 2,000 grafts--tops--but I would really talk to a surgeon and reassess.

 

Are you on any medications?

I agree you're too young to address the temples. What if by the time you're 30 you're a NW5-6...then you may have nice temples but nothing behind them? Then you may have also lost precious donor whereas you need it more for the rest of your scalp.

 

I'd definitely start Propecia soon.

That's why I don't want to lower my hairline and I don't even want to restore it with high density.

 

I will be really satisfied with full but not necessarily dense hairline.

 

Im young and beacuse of my hairs I feel very unattractive and I start to be depressed

I would agree with the guys and start the meds, see where that takes you. If after a year it bothers you that much and you really want to get the procedure done i would estimate 2000 grafts but again you really need to talk to couple of surgeons. I wish you well.
