JustShaveItBro69 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I'm looking to get an FUE procedure and plan to start scheduling consolations soon but would like to hear your guys opinions first. How many grafts in your estimation do you think I would need to achieve my previous density? As you can see in the pics, I have a strong frontal forelock so a new hairline isn't necessary, and just looking to pack the surrounding areas with density. First few pics are hair loss, next few are different lengths before hair loss, and last is donor area and sides. Some have said I have retrograde alopecia on sides, some say I haven't. Would love to hear your opinions. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at placed in NY, thinking of scheduling a consultation with Dr Wesley. Money really isn't an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member StillAlive Posted August 19, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 19, 2022 The length of your hair doesn't help us assess the degree of loss. Longer hair will always appear to be 'more/thicker' than really short hair. I think you've also mislabeled some photos as you appear to have more hair in 2021 than in 2020. You are a diffuse thinner and appear to be quite young, thus making you a rather poor candidate for an HT. If you are already on fin, an ethical doctor would recommend waiting until you've developed an established pattern of baldness that they can work with. Right now you take a big risk of shock loss to your native hair if you go ahead with an HT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dillpickle123 Posted August 19, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 19, 2022 Looks like you go some regrowth on fin so that’s good if you want FUE there doctor dorin in NY, Dr mwamba in NJ, dr konior in Chicago if money is not an issue and dr K charges the most since your a diffuse thinner they might not want to transplant the crown on the hairline have you thought of using hair fibers?

The dates are just made to see timeline. Obviously it will look more full with longer hair and so on. My hairloss has been stopped for about 3 years now.
