Donor Area Thoughts - Surgery Scheduled w/ Bicer

[Randomdude]

Hey Y’all - This site has really been a big help when it comes to feedback regarding hair-loss/HT. Had a question and thought I get some feedback from people regarding my donor area. Do y’all believe this is okay for a donor are? Maybe I might be over thinking it but I believe it might be thin? Granted that my hair in general is thin. When hair is long, nothing is noticeable. Some spots are missing hair because played rough as a kid lol and have some marks around my skull.
 

PS. Photos were both taken with flash. And last haircut was on Nov 1 which I usually get a mid skin fade. Might be because of haircut that it looks bit thin. 🤷‍♂️ Surgery is scheduled with Dr. Bicer in case y’all wondering

Density does appear to be a bit low

Thanks for the feedback. That’s what I thought. Didn’t realize it until now. Maybe could just be the way my hair is when cut short because if i give another week it fills in like that.

My consultation they said my donor was OK, your donor is probably thicker than mine though I've already had a transplant. They can use beard as well

@Randomdude Dr Bicer is very conservative and does not hold back in knocking back unsuitable candidates for surgery. If she feels you are a candidate for her then I would have full confidence. As long as you have told her what your goals are and what she intends to do then you are in excellent hands.

@Randomdudehow many grafts will Bicer take out for your upcoming procedure?

Your donor does appear to be low, but pictures can be deceiving.

Sorry for late reply. Well she said 3000, as she was going to focus on the hairline and then whatever is left over on the crown. But, the crown got a bit thinner than the previous photos I showed her. I can see it maybe going to 3500 graft to make it full. I’m no doctor but doubt the 3000 will fit that crown and also the hairline.

If your donor is okay but not sufficient for the whole front and crown, maybe you could choose less density and use a bit of hair fibers. Or you could do a conservative hairline, one that's not too low..

Hope it works out for you. Will you keep us updated on your journey?
