Thinking about my 5th Hairtransplant


Recommended Posts

Hi everybody :-)

 

I have gotten 4 Hairtransplants and i really thinking about getting my 5th on the crown, but i need you advice if my "back hair" can handle the 5th transplantation.

 

have gotten around 12000 hairs transplantet.

I Think you could go for the 5th without to much risk

Your donor looks like it could take another go.

 

May i ask where you had your 4 hairtransplants? Anyone of Them done in Denmark?

do you have Any pictures before all the hairtransplant or in between the hairtransplants that you Can show us so we Can see how the evolution is/was

 

I noted that you are from Denmark

I am Also from Denmark

And i had 2 hairtransplant myself

1 in turkey

1 in spain

 

Im not fully happy so im thinking about 1 more ht myself

Is it 12,000 hairs or grafts? Grafts have on average 2 hairs per follicular unit, so there is a big difference between the total number of hairs and total grafts.

 

Your donor area looks a bit thin in some of the photos. I think, considering this and the fact that you've had a lot of grafts, you'd be best off being seen in person before booking surgery. I do think that you probably have enough grafts for a relatively small procedure.

it looks like your donor may already be maxed out as you have noticeable thinning areas in the back even with longer hair, a reputable surgeon would probably not over-harvest your donor and cause it to look worse, you may want to consider concealer for your crown or possibly body hair as a secondary donor source, best of luck

12,000 hairs will be just shy of 6,000 grafts in the way that most surgeons keep count, considering what I said before about a follicle containing on average slightly more than 2 hairs. Most patients will have quite a few 3-hair follicular units.

 

That's a lot of grafts to have had extracted via FUE. Best advice is to seek out reputable surgeons for in-person consultations so that your donor can be examined up close. I know I said that before, but I'm repeating it now with more emphasis.
