Regular Member Foxface Posted February 21, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Planning to go for hair transplant. How many grafts will I need for frontal hairline and crown as well Edited February 21, 2020 by Foxface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member LaserCap Posted February 21, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted February 21, 2020 Unfortunately you did not post photos of the donor. Seems you are well demarcated. Are you doing any type of medical therapy? Concentrate on the front and mid scalp. Get that completed. Tackle the crown once you're happy with the front. Keep in mind in the crown we all share a whirl. It is the weakest point for everyone so being a bit thin is normal. Too much density truly looks fake. Do as many grafts as you can afford - and what the donor will yield. Are you planning FUT or FUE? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member 1978matt Posted February 21, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted February 21, 2020 For FUE, 2000 at the front, 1000 at the back, any more would potentially be reckless but then some doctors are. FUT you would probably be told anything between 2500-4000 grafts depending on the doctor. A few who specialise in very large sessions might even say 4500+. For FUE most cautious docs will say 2000-3000, clinics in Turkey...4500-5000+ 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...
Senior Member LaserCap Posted February 22, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2020 The crown looks good. You can start in front and go back as far as grafts allow as it involved the horizontal plane. Concentrate most of the grafts in the front and mid scalp and just blend towards the back. It's normal and natural to be a bit thinner towards the back. The numbers will vary depending on the density the doctor can achieve in a single procedure. Ask to see photos of cases similar to your own - and results of 1 procedure. Depending on your density goals, you may need a second procedure. I would also consider some type of medical therapy to help you with retention. If you can enhance the native hair you have, this will also contribute to the overall density.

Senior Member Future Hair Doc Posted February 22, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) First, get a consultation. You should be on meds to prevent or slow down further hair loss. Where are you located @Foxface? Your donor area looks good and the characteristics of your hair render them good for the illusion of density.. As others have said, focus on the frontal part first. I think about 2,500 grafts is good for the frontal area. Keep us posted on your journey and best of luck mate.
