Regular Member yeeaah Posted November 11, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted November 11, 2021 Im a 32 year old male and im looking to get a hairline transplant using the FUE method. Recently, I shaved my head that way I could see how much my hairloss has advanced and I came up with the pics herere.I am looking for a doctor that specializes in FUE that will give me results that will last me a long time. I do want the results to be noticeable so not only am I looking for a doctor recommendation but im also curious if you guys think 1500 grafts is enough ?

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted November 11, 2021 Administrators Share Posted November 11, 2021 It depends how low you want your hairline. I would say around 2,000-2,500 grafts. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

Senior Member Fue3361 Posted November 12, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 12, 2021 I disagree, if he's 32, and his hairline has been relatively stable the last few years, I think it's fine to have a HT if his hairline bothers him. As to your question of how many grafts? There's literally no correct answer. Depends how long you want the hairline. Depends how aggresively you want to restore the temples. Depends on many factors (basically depends on the hairline design). Personally, I'd say a minimum of 2k if it was my own personal hair. But it also depends on how short you want to keep your hair. If you want a buzz cut and to keep it at that length, it might have to be even more, since then you need higher density all over, not just on the first few rows of the hairline.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted November 12, 2021 Valued Contributor Share Posted November 12, 2021 @yeeaah have or are you considering taking a 5ari such as finasteride? You have a lot of hair to keep (or lose) in the future. The amount of grafts for your hairline is really dictated on whether you are going to have your temple points done, etc. All the best! 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am about to go on it. I am looking to put some grafts in my temple points. If thats the case are we thinking 1500-2000? I dont want to go too crazy since I dont know how much more I will lose along the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, I do like keeping the top much longer and just fade the sides. It suits my face better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around about 2000 grafts will be fine as long as you only bring your hairline down by a little bit. Maybe 1-1.5cm down at the forelock and then rounding off into the corners (i.e. not having it flat across. I just had 2000, well 2025, grafts myself. You could do a bit more if you wanted it a bit straighter across/lower, but I don't think there would be any need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member TEXAN35 Posted November 21, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 21, 2021 I would say 2000. Less than that may work but will not give you the desired density you want. You also need some temple work to make it all work together. Go conservative with hairline because if your loss progresses you should have enough grafts left for more sessions.

Youre saying to not worry too much about lowering the hairline and use those grafts on my temples more than anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than lower hairline make sure your hairline and temples go well together and have enough density. I would say it should be between 2000-2200 . Again a good doctor probably seeing you in person can give you better estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member SeanT1 Posted November 21, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 21, 2021 It all depends on your hair density really. I agree with 2000 being a solid number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
