Regular Member Recession1 Posted June 10, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 10, 2023 So I went yesterday to doctor Panine hair surgeon in Chicago. I want to bring down back to my normal hairline or close to it.  I don’t know all the hair terminology but they said I am 46 cm from temporal point to temporal point and have 15,000 grafts available for a lifetime and have medium hair characteristics.  is this good? What other measurements are needed to determine a good hair transplant result? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Britanium Posted June 11, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) Are you absolutely sure you want to get a hair transplant? Mid 30s on meds and what to me looks like a really, really good hair of hair. I saw the earlier pics of the hairline and in you’re shoes I wouldn’t even risk it, it’s not going to match that natural density you currently have, it’s not guaranteed to look as natural as you might like. You’re hair and you’re decision obviously, just would give it some really serious thought. Edited June 11, 2023 by BRITA-XL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Recession1 Posted June 11, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 11, 2023 I appreciate the honesty and input and I know what you’re saying. I’m just tired of covering up my hairline and I have more thinning then one thinks in the front and would like to bring down my hairline to frame my face. Here are some pictures that show the thinning and where I want hairline to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted June 11, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 11, 2023 How many grafts did Dr Panine propose to lower/reinforce the hairline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted June 11, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted June 11, 2023 Im not a doctor but I would definitely consider taking Finasteride and if you can tolerate it then go ahead. In years ahead you may be chasing this small procedure otherwise. I would imagine 1,800 - 2,000 grafts should suffice to lower your hairline and I like the conservative design. Don’t rush into it and all the best. GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Recession1 Posted June 11, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 11, 2023 Hopefully I don’t have too much more loss. I’m 35 and started finasteride at 24 so I’ve had fairly slow loss. I’m now on Dutasteride and oral minoxidil so hopefully after the procedure I can hold off and other major loss. Do you guys know if those donor numbers I stated earlier are good? I’m not an expert. Any other donor questions I need to ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
