ashu Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Today I have a session 1 of 2 HT by DHI method at Layers clinic , Hyderabad, India. As per doctor 1520 grafts have been transplanted fro making a hair line but these seems less and the spacing is huge. I have limited donor area so session 2 will be 1500 from remaining donor +200-250 beard and 400-500 from Body. To cover till vortex area. Can anyone tell us the spacing ok ? Can I expect density in area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Ccd99 Posted February 21 Regular Member Share Posted February 21 (edited) Your frontal density looks fine to me, there is a bit of spacing in the forelock area but it probably will get covered once those hairs grow longer. Having said that I am a bit sceptical of the Dr. recommending to use only 1500 grafts as a NW6 to cover the remaining areas until vertex... unless you have a lot of pre-existing hair I think it could look very sparse. Do you have any photos of the top of your scalp pre-op?

Regular Member Ccd99 Posted February 21 Regular Member Share Posted February 21 I don't mean to put you off but I genuinely do not think 1500 grafts is going to to do the rest of the recipient area any justice. You do have some existing hair on your scalp but they are in a very advanced stage of miniaturization, so I do not think it will blend in enough to give the illusion of density. Your donor area is very sparse too and you are are already approaching NW7 (your crown is dipping), how old are you and did you have a HT before? If you are not on meds (Finasteride/Minoxidil) I would highly recommend you get it on it ASAP post surgery. All the best with the surgery tomorrow and I really hope I am wrong.

ashu Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 I'm 28 , And No donot have any HT before it's because i had a foliculitis about year ago due to which I lost donor area and I haven't been in finasteride or minoxidil before. Thanks for your kind words. I am hoping for decent results 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Kamran10 Posted February 21 Regular Member Share Posted February 21 (edited) In order to get the full coverage result for Norwood 6 , you need min of 9000 grafts . Anything less than that won’t give an illusion of full coverage unless your hair characteristic needs to be excellent and you need to have a lot of triple and quadruple in donar area . Also sounds like , you have a lot of native hair in your crown, if you respond very well to minoxidil and finasteride , and other necessary supplements and vitamins , using proper treatment like Low laser therapy , PRP , Messo therapy . You might be able to get them thicker . Edited February 21 by Kamran10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member coolbreeze Posted February 22 Regular Member Share Posted February 22 This seems like it would be good combined with SMP. Do the front like this where people are looking directly at you then the rest with SMP. Even though will be shaved down, will have 3d look as its actual hair.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted February 22 Valued Contributor Share Posted February 22 You do seem to have a lot of miniaturized hair in the crown and vertex. I'm not a doctor but taking finasteride and minoxidil could help rejuvenate these follicles.

Regular Member YodaHead Posted February 23 Regular Member Share Posted February 23 I suggest get on Minoxidil and Finasteride for next 12 months and then reassess the results of your HT and medical treatment. It will help better plan the next line of action. 12.5k grafts with Dr. Felipe Pitella in Jan 2024.
