Since 2 years ago, I had many online quotes and one face-to-face consultation.
Summary from the face-to-face consultation:
Norwood Classification: NW3V
Hair Characteristics: Fine
Donor Density: measured in 2 different areas as 70/700 follicular units per cm2
Miniaturisation: None
Donor Laxity: 1,4 cm
Donor Size: 30 cm
Recommendations: As you have an average density in your donor area with a lot of 2 hair grafts, and you have a scalp with good elasticity, we propose to thicken the frontal 1/3 and rebuild your hairline with around 2500 FUE grafts.
Please see current photos.
I have been on Minodidil for many years, and over 2 years on Finasteride+regular microneedling (Dermastamp+derminator).
I understand my density is lower than average (apparently a trait of being oriental Asian), although I still have decent donor hair.
After further communication, it was indicated that with FUT 3000 grafts may be possible, and I would not need a to shave other than recipient area and the donor strip. (I'd rather look ridiculous for a year while the transplanted hair hopefully catches up, than having to regrow the length which takes 3-4 years).
I'm not hoping for a miracle, and would be happy with a mature hairline with good density.
Any opinions? I am hoping with 3000 grafts, he may be able to address the thinning crown as well.
