How many grafts do I need? (28M)

[Iamu]

I’m looking to make my mid frontal point (widows peak) stronger and bring it down at most a mm.  Also want to make this V hairline a little lower and less aggressive. Within the past year my hairline has receded to where I can’t style my hair the way I want and it looks like shit to my standards. My bangs have become paper thin and it’s very disheartening. It doesn’t help that I have super fine hair. It I had coarser hair then this wouldn’t be as bad but the natural fineness and slow thinning has caused my hair to become weak and lifeless. I need extra volume in my bangs and I feel like a transplant can do that for me 

I posted a picture of when I was 15-16 to show you my juvenile. I’ve been on finasteride for about 8 months 

 

Any feedback will be so much appreciated

Your hairline has simply matured. It does not appear to be miniaturized to any significant extent. You are not currently a hair transplant candidate at this time. Stay and fin and keep a close eye on it.

Wow man incredible hair. I worse hair then you at 15. Enjoy, live life and don’t get a hair transplant!

Yep agree, this is just a mature hairline. Looks really good. Please don’t consider a hair transplant.

Hairline looks fine, not quite sure what you want improved. I think you want the temples dropped to make a more even line. Don’t think you should do it, just stay in fin

Zero.

As others have stated, your hairline is mature and suits you well. Stay on finasteride and minoxidil. If you'd like, consult with recommended surgeons here:

Feel free to PM me any questions you have or if you want surgeon recs.

Definitely agree with others, this looks like hairline maturation. If someone posted this pic as the result of having a hair transplant the forum consensus replies would be that its a grandslam. Anything you would have done, since the doctor is going to have to integrate the new grafts along the borders of your existing hair, is going to potentially risk losing some of that border area hair to permanent shock loss from the surgery trauma, because you still have so much hair.

I don't think childhood is a good reference in any sense, but seeing your hair just before you started finasteride would be valuable in determining how much male pattern baldness is an actual factor for you.

 

When we are young alot of us prefer to grow our hair long and style it forward over parts of our face, and since our facial bone structures still haven't developed much it often looks better than other styling options. But as we age and our faces mature, shorter hair lengths styled/combed back bring out those matured features for alot of people better.  You should be looking forward instead of back at what you had during childhood, try some new hair length/styling that better compliment your face.

Your eyebrows are denser than most of our frontal zones! 

You have a great head of hair, with a slightly matured, yet still NW1 hairline. 

Enjoy life, hair loss is not your concern.

You should not be considering surgery, you have a perfectly normal forehead. As a child, you had a small forehead, too small IMO.

Personally, I think that look is unappealing, it doesn’t look aesthetic. The proportions look off. 

 

this hairline looks proportionally better and more appealing, which is similar to what you got.

You need exactly -1,000 grafts
