Can my donor handle 3k grafts?

[MAIZE1694]

Curious on the forums thoughts on my donor. I have a procedure coming up for 3k grafts.

For now yes, what is your age? The crown shows signs that in may drop to NW6 in future so if you are not on medication & under 40, make sure they don't get too close to unsafe zone when harvesting. With such pattern hair loss, if you are young patient FUT would be more ideal.

I'm 34, been on fin for almost two years and luckily the crown has moved much since that time.

Thanks for your input.

Your donor is good. 3000 grafts can easily be extracted. Its a good thing that you are on Finasteride too.

With the right surgeon, easily.

Who are you having surgery with?

Appreciate your input. It "appears" ok after a shower. A bit different when I wake up or after a long day, it looks choppy as my hair is very straight.

I worried how punching 3000 holes might affect that.

I guess I will know for sure when Dr. Arika does an examination.

There’s a max of around 6 k scalp grafts residing on that scalp mate ..relax .

it’s a walk in the park 👍

They're very good with Donor management so you're in good hands.

Easy 3k worth of grafts, most likely twice that available ! 👍🏽

If they could get over 3,200 grafts from my scalp donor then you'll never need a beard graft in your life!

You have beautiful donor hair, I'm jealous! Good luck on your surgery.

FUT or FUE?

[Ryan Daniel]

Yes, it can definitely take 3000 grafts

If I were you  I would be more worried about choosing the correct doctor to handle your donor area rather than wondering if it can take 3000 grafts. Going to a hair mill will leave your donor area looking like it got hammered by a shotgun

Hi, Melvin. FUE. Going to Eugenix soon.

Thanks everyone for your input.

Based on the pics, your donor looks suitable to support 3,000 graft extractions and much more...but only a microscopic examination will tell all.

Most clinics utilize techs to perform the extractions and the skill level varies quite a bit between individuals.

Lastly, your crown definitely shows a diffused thinning pattern so staying with a proven hair loss med such as low dose finasteride is imperative as MPB is a life-long genetic condition.
