I also meant to ask, what is the most common guard length used on the clippers that they use to trim your hair prior to FUE? I heard it was a 0 guard.

i am trying to strategically align the time I buzz my head with the time I will go in for my FUE procedure. I have long thick hair and am only getting hairline and temple work done but I wanted to get a buzz cut early so people aren't shocked when I get back to the US with a buzzed head. I was...

Think what I'm going to end up doing is buzzing my head to a 2 guard to make it an easier process

I appreciate the advice everyone. Weighing my options.

My frontal hairline (not pictured) is about Norwood 1. My temples are Norwood 2 pattern, the only areas I'm really trying to focus on. I'm anticipating getting a lower graft number, there are examples on his site of people with far worse loss who've gotten less grafts... I'll keep everyone updated.

Where the hell would he even put 2500 grafts on me? Is it possible to graft into areas that aren't even thinning?

Exactly, I'm the farthest thing from an expert and I sort of wondered that as well.

Downward view doesn't look bad at all to me but what bothers me are my profile views. This is with wet, slicked back hair. I just wanted to fill in the temple area a little but and lower the hairline about 1-1.5cm and straighten it out. I have a very distinct "M" shape from the front, and that's...

thanks! I'll let into this as well.

Fred, just to clear it up so there's no misconceptions, I don't personally care about buzzing my head, I've done it before, but due to my current position/job I really can't do it for professional reasons that I'm sure you can understand. http://www.hairtransplantfue.org/long-hair-fue The 2500...

Based on your knowledge would long hair reinforcement still be possible?

Sounds good and I appreciate all of your advice. Very valuable to me. I asked Dr Erdogan if he could reinforce thinnng areas with the long hair FUE method and they said that they could. I wanted to see if anyone in this forum knew about this

That makes sense, and I understand that. I was mainly inquiring about Erdogan's method. As I understand it he is one of the best and takes into account future loss; the video I saw (2500 grafts) was a very diffuse NW5-looking fellow and it looked like post-op he had everything reinforced. The...

What kind of trouble might I run into?

I'm an NW2 with slight thinning behind the temples. Family history-wise my hairline is about what my father and grandfather have right now. Is it possible to reinforce frontal third using long hair FUE? I know it would be more difficult but is it still possible?
