I'm a 25 year old male living in Georgia. How many grafts would be a good starting point for my first transplant? I'm hoping to restore density on the left and right temples of my hairline. I'm scheduled to have 1,300 grafts FUE neograft in a month, but I can add to this number, if needed. Any suggestions on keeping my hair looking natural if non-transplanted hairs continue to bald? I am ok with having another transplant at some point, but this is still a concern. Thank you!!
