Please Help Me Predict My Norwood Level For hair transplant( Fue).

[Getsomefreshhair]

Hi everyone,
I am 33 y/o male suffering from Androgenetic Alopecia for the last 10 years. Past 1.5 years I have been wearing a hair system but I have almost decided to have a massive hair transplant (FUE) in a couple of months. I have attached my pics here. Could you please help me estimate my Norwood level and the no. of grafts required? Thanks in advance.

Man, are you sure?
You are basically a NW6.
You would need a lot a money for a lot of grafts (5000+) and you would still seem diffusely bald.
I suggest you shave that sh*t and move on. Don’t hate me.

This. Shave it and move on. If you're still in drastic need perhaps consider a hair system. Personally I've cut mine super short and will live with it becaue hair systems must be managed.

I wonder what drives people to neglect their hair loss and discover it again when they are NW6.

The problem is I have a very weak facial definition and look 2.5 to 3/10 ,like a frail cancer patient , with a shaved head.
I don't want to sport a head full of hair like a 20 year old but if it is realistic to expect a Norwood 2 or 2.5 with a decent hairline and illusion of crown coverage then why not? Besides I am also ready to use hair fibers to conceal gaps in the crown after the transplanted hairs grow back.
So let me rephrase my q: do you think it's possible to get to Norwood 2.5 grade from my current stage with an hair transplant and how many grafts ,in your opinion , must be implanted?

Let me put it like this: Give up thinking about hair transplant's because your hair is too far gone.

Its wrong to say that nw6 cant get transplant.Why? Because every individual is different,by that i mean thickness of donor area,hair type,skin..some have higher sides,so therefore more chances to have better result.Another option is recreate hairline,and leave crown bald,or have FUT megasession,then FUE for Max grafts.

If you post the photos so i see them on this page i will tell you. If you're nw6 then you can get a new hairline and some coverage going back, but keep a bald area around the crown and still look decent. You also have to go on medication, which I assume you haven't done.

99% of times true but without good pictures here we can't talk more. Do you have a system and are you on BT forum?
