Regular Member Happyout Posted August 5, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Hey everyone,Im obviously new to the site and im so glad i've found it My hairloss started in my 20's but seemed to stop for 10yrs or so.It has returned the last year with thinning to the front.Im a two year fin user which i believe has steadied the ship. I have reached out to some clinics via online consultation and was surprised at the amount of grafts recommended(3500-4000. I would just like some density and maybe a little hairline work. Im 44 and dont want or need a hairline of my youth! All comments would be much appreciated!Thanks in advance! Edit:Ive just noticed ive posted in a completely wrong area,Apologies and maybe a mod could send to the right section!

Regular Member Michael Vories, MD Posted August 5, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted August 5, 2019 From the photos 3500-4000 grafts seem like overkill. I would estimate from them that 2000 grafts would be plenty to fill in the apex areas and hairline.

LonelyGraft Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) I agree with dr vories, 3500-4000 seems like overkill based on your pics. Maybe 2500 is more reasonable Edited August 6, 2019 by jj51702 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Blake Bloxham Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I'm with Dr. Vories on this one: 3,500 - 4,000 sounds very high. Did the other clinics explain where they wanted to use the grafts? I think 1,800 - 2,000 depending on what you want to do with the hairline makes sense. Maybe 250 or so in the crown if this is not just a normal appearance from the natural whorl pattern -- and it very well may be. Dr. Blake Bloxham is recommended by the Hair Transplant Network.
