Confused by graft quote from TranHair Clinic (Dr Patty) in Thailand. Thoughts?

[defiance79]

I have been doing my research and receiving assessments from various reputable hair transplant clinics. All of them have been in the 3000-4000 graft range.

HairTran clinic have said 3500-3800 grafts for either the crown or front only, and told me they focus on only one area at a time. If I want to do the front they recommend coming back in 6-12 months time. This seems quite different to what other clinics are quoting me for the same graft amount for crown and front hairline.

Here are my pics:

Anyone know if this is standard practice for Dr Patty - working on particular parts of the scalp only? Is this too many grafts just for my crown or front?

Any opinions would be appreciated lads.

3500 for Front only is Over Estimated

your front is around 2500

 

your crown around around 1000 are needed

Agreed. A maximum of 4k for the entire scalp seems more reasonable to me.

@defiance79from.your pics it seems you need max 4k for the whole scalp...if you want a second opinion in thailand itself than you can consult dr laorwong and dr pathomvanich....

I would agree with 2,500 being plenty for the frontal.  Crown doesn't look too bad at this point.  I would concentrate on the front and keep an eye on the crown for a while and concentrate on that with an additional surgery down the road.   We don't know what your age is but my balding patterns leveled off in my mid-thirties so it was easier to anticipate grafts needed for good coverage.

Are you lowering your hairline too? Naturally that would add graft numbers to any frontal work.

Have you also consulted with Dr. Laorwong?
