Regular Member Zel Posted December 11, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted December 11, 2021 What is the lowest amount of grafts you’ve seen or known someone to have implanted on their hairline? For me i honestly think i’d only need 100/200. I understand that clinics have a minimum fee to pay but that’s fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HappyMan2021 Posted December 11, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted December 11, 2021 pics? IMO if you truly only need 100-200 grafts, to me that infers you have a pretty strong hairline that has a teeny tiny bit of natural recession. IMO a strong hairline with the teeniest bit of natural loss is the best look, rather than risk complications or artificialness of a tiny improved hairline. But yes no one on here can provide accurate commentary to your situation without pics. And yes only getting 100-200 grafts alone likely does not justify the operating costs for the surgeon and staff. But if you were to pay a premium fee + the graft count cost I don't see how any surgeon would have an issue - of course if they agree only adding 100-200 grafts makes sense.

Regular Member Zel Posted December 12, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 12, 2021 i do have a strong hairline but the small amount of recession is on the side that my hair parts so it’s a real shame. I know that i’m so close to having my old teenage hairline which i believe a minor ht could get me back to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted December 12, 2021 Valued Contributor Share Posted December 12, 2021 Can you share some pics of the area in question? I think you would be wasting your money for a surgery requiring only 100-220 grafts but it depends on your case? 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted December 12, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted December 12, 2021 How old are you ? It’s likely your moving in to your mature hairline. If you was to have a small transplant now then it’s more than likely it will continue to move toward your mature hairline, you will be chasing the loss ! If it’s MPB then the same applies. This is part of the reason ethical Drs will not operate on people under the age of 25. They simply do not know how your loss will progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Al - Moderator Posted December 12, 2021 Moderators Share Posted December 12, 2021 I think most Drs will do very small FUE procedures. I know at least some of them do. They would certainly do small touch-ups to patients who they have already worked on, so a small procedure isn't something that never happens. What they will usually do is fit you in on the same day as another smaller sized procedure that they don't expect to take very long.

Regular Member Zel Posted December 12, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 12, 2021 As you can see this temple lacks density and i don’t see the issue in having a very minor ht since i’m on an aggressive protocol in dut and ru. I haven’t experienced any further miniaturisation whilst being on these meds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be better off waiting a while and seeing if the meds improve this area a bit. 1 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

For 2 years and the hair loss has just froze, this is why i’m confident with having a ht knowing that it’s very unlikely i’ll experience any further hair thinning.

If you have found a medical therapy that works then I would wait until you need a hair transplant. You risk have shock loss, poor work (depending on the surgeon if an ethical surgeon would touch you that is), and potentially kick starting MPB from the surgery alone. These are all unlikely but possible things that could occur. Why risk the great head of hair that you currently have that has been stabilized by medication? All the best mate!

All the best mate! i understand, i was looking into Dr Arshad, I think i need to risk it otherwise i’ll never know. Perhaps i’d only need 100 grafts anyway. Maybe less.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted December 12, 2021 Valued Contributor Share Posted December 12, 2021 I totally get it. And at 26 I would be thinking exactly like you are Zel. But I still feel that surgery is a last resort (and I've had my fair share) but at the end of the day it's up to you. All the best!

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted December 12, 2021 Valued Contributor Share Posted December 12, 2021 I'm sure it can be done alright. It depends who you are having a consultation with. If you were going to Turkey I doubt that with maybe one exception every surgeon would do it. If you go an elite ethical surgeon from the list on this forum many will be hard pushed to do it and many will turn you away. The reason being because you have responded so favorably to 5ari's to the point that currently you stabilized your hair loss. But if you keep searching you will probably find someone who might.

Consult with as many as possible. If your adamant you want it addressed then see what each Dr says. Its entirely possible they will either say no or even suggest more grafts are needed. Be interesting to hear what they say. Please keep us informed! Edited December 12, 2021 by JC71 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member BDK081522 Posted December 14, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted December 14, 2021 Can you post a picture with your proposed hairline? This will give the forum a better idea of what you're looking to achieve, total graft count, and if you're a currently a candidate for hair restoration.
