Mhlor Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Guys, will 2000 graphs be enough for the area i circled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Sean Posted April 3, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted April 3, 2020 2000 grafts Should be, but this will be based on types of grafts extracted (1 hair, 2 hair, 3 hair etc) and your hair texture. remember be careful with wreckless density planting- that is more of an issue. Some areas doctor may need to use higher density in other parts of that zone because you have native hair in between. If he uses too high of a density it can cause an issue or cAuse permanent shockloss. Best of luck with everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphael84 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 @Mhlor A head down shot would be very useful to more accurately understand how far back your loss is? Also an idea of what hair line design your are looking to achieve. Depending on your age, medications, density etc.... will influence the most appropriate approach and hairline design. A simple change in design can make a significant difference to your required graft count.

Mhlor Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Trying to reinforce my hairline. Here are more pictures. Sorry, hair is kinda long and pics are blurry. Edited April 3, 2020 by Mhlor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphael84 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 These latest photos seem to show a slightly better situation. How old are you? Are you using any hair loss preventative medicine? You would ideally like to reinforce your hairline and frontal third without lowering your hairline at all?

Yesterday marked the first day I started taking topical fin and min. In two months, scheduled for transplant for 2000 grafts. I never thought my hair was this bad until i moved to my new apartment about 3 months ago. The bright bathroom lights really exposed my hair loss after showers and made me freak out a bit. I really just want to reinforce my hairline. My forehead has always been big growing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted April 3, 2020 Administrators Share Posted April 3, 2020 Given the fact that you're not trying to lower your hairline. 2,000 grafts should suffice, now is the perfect time to submit consultations, they are free due to the pandemic. I would suggest to submit as many as possible. https://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/Consult-a-Physician/hair-transplant-surgeons.asp?sr=HRN I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member gillenator Posted April 3, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted April 3, 2020 You really don't need 2,000 grafts to look restored as long as you do not lower your hairline.

Concur, definitely could be less based on density extracted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Niko1 Posted April 5, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) Hi Mhlor imho you should wait and see what kind of results you get from minoxidil and finasteride. The medication could thicken the thin miniaturised hair and you may not need to undergo surgery right away. The longer you wait the better. Besides it gives you time to research and plan. 1500-2000 graft is a good number if you're not lowering your hairline. Just to let you know that planting grafts so close, in and around your native thinning hair could cause that hair to go into shock loss which may not grow back.

I brought it up to the surgeon in the phone consultation and all he said was "theres not much to lose". Ill bring it up again on surgery day.

I actually see regrowth just a bit over 2 months use of topical fin and min. My hair transplant date is in one week. Im so nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
