Regular Member ljpcarrera Posted July 16, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted July 16, 2023 I am 52 hairloss is stable with dutasteride and oral minoxidil. I would like to soften my left side hairline as it has some larger grafts and it too straight. Any thoughts how many grafts I will need and any doctor recommended in Southeast US. I live in Miami and prefer not to travel too far. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Navthedon Posted July 16, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted July 16, 2023 You need to sweep your hair back before anyone to give an accurate estimate. Have you already had a transplant as your hairline doesn't look natural? Ultimately it all comes down to how good you want your hairline to look. Also, never cheap out on travelling or "convenience" when it comes to surgery as in the long run you'd wish you'd gone to the right surgeon than gone cheap. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ljpcarrera Posted July 16, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 16, 2023 Yes, had two transplants in the 90s to the right and left side of hairline. When you look up close you can see the larger grafts and some spacing in between. Hard to see in the photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Bhumik Shah MD Posted July 16, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted July 16, 2023 I don’t think it would take a lot. Maybe 300-400 singles max. Probably even less.

Valued Contributor A_4_Archan Posted July 16, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted July 16, 2023 @ljpcarreraJust to soften that side i guess less than 300 would be fine but don't make a mistake of choosing your surgeon based on convenience factors such as travelling...your pic clearly speaks that you had a HT and this time choose a surgeon whose work is more natural..best of luck ... 1 Check Out My Hair Transplant Journey --> My Thread 3611 FUE Grafts With Dr Kongkiat Laorwong | Norwood 5 | 2nd May 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member ljpcarrera Posted July 17, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) Yeah does look like Saul Goodman. Yes definitely going to pick a surgeon carefully as this should be my last transplant, I hope. Edited July 17, 2023 by ljpcarrera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ljpcarrera Posted July 18, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 18, 2023 Good guess sent out my photos to one clinic they stated 300 to 350 grafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Mountinvan Posted July 19, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted July 19, 2023 It looks like you are a great candidate. If you want this to be your last (we all would like that but hair greed is awfully powerful) then don't skimp--go to a real pro and do as many grafts as you can to get the best improvement. Be interested in who the Forum thinks are the best HT docs now for hairlines---worldwide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ljpcarrera Posted July 19, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) Thanks prefer to keep it in the states as it will be a small session. I have made three to four grafts that need to be reduced as well as the new grafts. At 52 I want to be done allready Edited July 19, 2023 by ljpcarrera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
