Hello

I am now getting close to year 3 on the big 3. I have maintained my hair nicely. YEt i am still a bit unsatisfied with my results I wonder about just getting my temples filled in a bit?? I have extra money saved up that would not mind spending if it would actually look good.


What do u guys think? how much would the procedure cost by someone extremly qualified ?

come on, give us a little bit more info than that. like post pics of your situation so people can tell where you are on the baldness scale. anyone who gives you a graft estimate on here without looking at your pictures would be pretty stupid

Fue would do it...500 grafts improve your temples and hairline. If your hair is stable then may be worth it, it depends how important it is to you.

If your pretty happy with your hair would be better to wait for HM and avoid surgery..but could be another 1-3 yrs.

Could be another 3-10+ yrs as well. People were claiming it was just around the corner back in the 90's. When it does come out it will probably be only for the mega rich, until it becomes a more widespread procedure.

So luck you even have that option. I got butchered by someone, and then MHR messed up their attempt at correction, and Dr. Bernstein was able to make me look fairly presentable with graft excisions, but my donor supply was totally used up on the first inch deep into my hairline, and it' still incredibly thin and gappy. I would kill to be able to fill in temples or something. I'm screwed for the rest of my life, and I have horrible scarring too. God I can't even get a haircut because I'm too embarrassed.

I was NW2-3 and needed 1200 to fill my temples, I think we really need pictures, 500 grafts would only suffice is loss was very minimal.

If you are anywhere near NW3, you will need a lot more than 500 grafts to get to NW1. But if you just want move the temples forwards a little, and brink he corners down 1/8 inch, 500 may do the trick. For FUE you probably need $3500-$4000, though it might be less. For strip (which I advise against for only 500 grafts) you would need about 2500 dollars.

Before going to a Doctor, let us all research the Doctor for you and give you ideas.
