JakeGyllenhair Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Hello mates, iam a Norwood 2 and plan to do a hair transplant. Iam also 31 years old. Iam not sure about the capacity of my donor. If i could get only 4000 grafts out of it, i wont do it because of future hair transplants. what is your opinion? It was donewith handy light. Thank you in advance.

Regular Member DHT Posted January 7, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted January 7, 2023 Hey mate, looks good but at the same time some pictures give an illusion of DUPA. 3-4K can be extracted easily. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeGyllenhair Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 Hi, How many grafts could be may extracted? Iam close to clueless because it Looks like i have some slightly patchy spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member NikosHair Posted January 7, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted January 7, 2023 Definitely something funky going there with your donor (last photo). My concern would be further thinning after extraction which exacerbates further hair loss in the surrounding donor (non temporary shock-loss). It looks fine now but you don't want a nw1 front with a train wreck in your donor. I'd try and find out the reason for the patchy donor. If you did proceed to a HT, consider a small surgery to start with and have a 2nd pass, if all is well/required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted January 7, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted January 7, 2023 I would have a consultation with a dermatologist before even thinking of surgery. I would imagine that without giving medication a good 6-12 months to see if you can improve your donor then you risk making things much worse. 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Ryan Daniel Posted January 7, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted January 7, 2023 Since you are Norwood 2, you have plenty of donor hair to reach your goal, but still get on medication Your donor looks like the kind of donor someone would have after having a hair transplant already... however this is quite common for people with blonde and fine hair. All I will say is make sure you go to a clinic that are experts at making FUE and keeping the donor area almost no different than how it was before FueGenix / BHR clinic / Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member mavigo Posted January 7, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted January 7, 2023 Just go on this website's list of recommended doctors and do ~5 online consults to get an idea of your donor capacity.

JakeGyllenhair Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 thanks a lot for this great number of replies. i try to answer every question: - i had no previous FUE - i already try finasterid and dutasterid in the past and didnt respond very well on it. i would stay on minox, nizoral and microneedling - i already have a consultation at a dermatologist, iam just not sure how much this gonna help and if he cant clearly state me the issue and how to fix it - i already did consultations but these opinions vary a lot, so i wanted to ask in the forum here too most in my family was a norwood 5-6 until 60-70 years old. so i need enough donor to keep it up later or at least long enough, until its possible to clone hair or something like this. best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
