How many grafts am I looking at in order to fill norwood 2.5 temples?

[LifeIsSucks]

Title, I was born with a very high hairline and messed up temples, after examining my current hairline and my childhood hairline I don't see a lot of difference, I am 26 now it seems I am a natural 2.5.

 

How many grafts am I looking at to just fill in the temples and acheive a straight look? I want to ideally acheive as dense as possible result.

As far as my family history goes, my father is around norwood 3-4 without any crown loss in his 60's, the same pattern as his father/my grandfather, I understand the possiblity of me going bald behind transplanted hair, but I am willing to take this risk as I believe new innovations in hair presevation will be out soon (I am specially looking forward to sm04554) which will allow for more powerful maintenance in the long run

here is me at the age of 7, you can see how far back the temple is, the only difference between this and my current hairline is that the baby hairs near my temples disappeared.

You don't need a HT in my opinion.

You would probably need 2 sessions a year apart to be able to get a density to match the hair you have already.  Not worth the risk with such a decent hairline already.
