mr.mike Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Hey everyone I'm just curious how much donor hair you think I have available. I would like to fill my hairline before even touching my crown as i can always grow my hair long and maybe slick it back. I'm just wondering if I'm even a candidate. Note: I feel like I have thicker hair than the camera is picking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted December 11, 2022 Administrators Share Posted December 11, 2022 Your donor looks thin, have you been seen in person by a surgeon?

Not a good donor, and you have large area to cover....Beard doesnt look strong either, so i think you are not a good candidate. But if u have low expectations and dont want to cover the whole area then you could propably give it a try. You need to see a surgeon in person to measure your donor capacity.

mr.mike Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 Thanks for being honest. Too bad we can't grow hair follicles in a lab. Or take some pill to help a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahal Hair Transplant Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Mr.Mike, To be honest, you’re really going to have to consider whether or not hair transplant surgery is worth it to you even if you do have enough donor hair. It looks like you have enough donor for an average size hair transplant but you also have advanced bowling. So don’t expect to be able to restore a completely full looking head of hair although, if you have realistic expectations, you could certainly experience improvement in your overall work if you’re interested in a more detailed evaluation, feel free to contact me privately and I can set up an information session with Dr. Rahal.
