Regular Member Smacias15 Posted January 25, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) It's me again, I started a thread about my situation but I want to adjust the pictures a little. I have my surgery next Monday and want to make sure I got quoted correctly. Attached is a chart of their hair grafts break down of cm2. So my doctor quoted me 1200-1500 to fill in the corners and he said that they need to lower the hairline just a tad so it can connect to my corners with the other transplanted hair. So you can see the areas I marked where the grafts will be their. But NO work to the forelock. I'll be on fin and Minoxidil to thicken that area up. So he re quoted me for 2200 hair grafts. Based on the area i drew, the quote seems a bit steep compared to other similar examples of my hair loss. I was thinking 1600-1800. What you guys think?

Senior Member JoeMan Posted January 25, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted January 25, 2022 From the pictures, it seems like on the high side. Do you mind stating what clinic? Maybe express your concerns. Have you received other quotes for your hair and if so were they close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, i was quoted 1000 from one doctor just to do corners(no new hairline). I got quoted 2250 frim dr Mohebi(corners and slight lower hairline), and another doctor quoted 1200(corners.) This clinic from LA fue said 1200-1500 for corners plus another 600 for a lower hairline. (From left end of my forelock to right end of my forelock). 600 grafts of one small linear line seems steep Edited January 25, 2022 by Smacias15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s very goood on placing softeners infront of the hairline to make the hairline look more natural. He quoted 2800 for me but I said I only could afford 1700 grafts. He then proceeded to the throw in an extra 700 grafts for free which amazed me. I got 2416 grafts total. Did you get your procedure done yet?

Rahal Hair Transplant Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) @Smacias15, I was going to post a reply to your initial topic not realizing that you posted this back in January of this year. I was simply going to state that every physician possesses a unique philosophy and often times graft count estimates vary from doctor to doctor. I was also going to say that 2200 grafts seems pretty accurate because the area to be covered is a bit larger than you think. Hair is often transplanted in between and around the natural hair in addition to the bald areas for a couple reasons. For starters, for density to be consistent, hair often needs to be transplanted in between and around the natural hair. Otherwise the area of natural hair will appear thinner. Furthermore, in the event you lose more natural hair, you want the hair transplant to stand alone and look natural. You certainly wouldn’t want to lose all your natural hair upfront and end up with an unnatural looking hair transplant with tufts of hair on the side of the front with no hair in the center. All that to say, it looks like your results turned out really nice and the estimate you were given worked out quite well. I think 1000 grafts would have been way too little to give you what you really needed and wanted. Congratulations on a nice looking result.
