Regular Member AssaultedByDHT Posted October 3, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted October 3, 2018 and how many grafts is needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member 1978matt Posted October 3, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Depends what you want doing but maybe 3500-4000 fut or 2500-3000 fue (over 2days). Two thirds of those concentrated in the front half, the rest towards the crown. Depending on how it turns out you may end up needing another to address permanent shock loss that may be caused by the first HT. Get on meds if you aren't already. Edited October 3, 2018 by 1978matt 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...

Get on meds if you aren't already. This is 5 months ago, before I buzzed it. I have been on treatment(big three) ever since then. I have noticed my hair fill in over the past months, but I haven't grown my hair out again because it's easier to apply minoxidil with a buzzcut. If I post a current pic, it won't show the thinning pattern, it will just look like a buzzed cut (#3) with diffuse thinning on the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may want to let it grow a bit to do a comparison in a couple of months. Hopefully it could mean not needing as many 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...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted October 3, 2018 Administrators Share Posted October 3, 2018 I would wait another 6 months to see how you’re responding to the meds, you may require a lot less grafts then the initial pictures if you respond well.

Thank you both. So far I have been a good responder. Antoher question: I am thinning in a Norwood 5 pattern right? Just curious about my donor supply.
