Regular Member DH97 Posted February 20, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted February 20, 2023 Hi there, I'm 25 and been thinning in an nw6 pattern for 9 years. I've just recently hopped on finasteride about 4 months ago and I've been using rogaine for some time now. Ive been thinning on top and I've lost a bit of density on the sides. Ive been to a trichologist and he said my donor was average with a tiny bit of thinning. Ive reached out to eugenix and they said I would need 4000-4400 grafts. About 3000 from the donor and rest from beard. I was curious about if my donor can take that many grafts. These pictures all use flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Bucky O Hair Posted February 20, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted February 20, 2023 If your donor is average, then it should probably be able to take 5000 grafts (so the estimate is not far off). Honestly, taking photos and asking people on here probably won't get you anything useful in terms of estimates. Photos are deceptive, and things like lighting, flash, hair greasiness and hair length will make it too hard for people to be able to properly assess you. Also, did you meet with anyone from Eugenix in person? Or was this just an estimate based off of photos as well? Estimating a good hair transplant is straight up mathematics. You measure the balding area (in cm2) and you get your donor reviewed in-person at a HT clinic to get a good estimate of how many hairs you can realistically remove. Take that number of donor hairs and divide it by the balding area (in cm2) and if you can hit 35+ FUEs per cm2, then you should be fine. I would go to a HT clinic and get an in-person consultation, just to give you piece of mind on what your donor area can handle. Book a couple of consultations and get multiple opinions. You don't have to commit to anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member DH97 Posted February 20, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 20, 2023 Thanks for the reply. Yep ive been evaluated in person a month ago but they didn't specify how many grafts are available. Since I'm not from India I've never been evaluated in person by eugenix team. I will add pictures of my grown out hair (1.5 inch) and when my donor is shaved down and maybe that will help. Anyway I really appreciate the advice, thanks again!
