Hi, im 30 years old and worried about that my donor area is not good enough so i i have to get hair from my beard and chest area. Both areas have thick hair. So basically, my question is, what is recommended in my case? Added some photos too. Cheers.

Answer: Beard to scalp later Your donor area seems quite adequate for a hair transplant. You should see a hair restoration surgeon to help you plan for your current and future hair needs. To start, I recommend at least 2500 to front, corners with tapering to the top. After that, you can consider a second transplant to fine tune the front and fill in the top. Beard hair is an option but we almost always use posterior scalp donor hair first leaving the beard for the crown area.

Answer: Hair Transplant Your donor area is somewhat thin, and you have significant frontal and crown loss. An estimate of the area is probably 140-150 cm2 that needs to be transplanted. If we are trying to obtain 40 hairs per cm2 of density, then you would eventually need 5600 hairs. That would be a large amount of grafts for your donor area. I agree with placing more hair for you in the frontal area and leaving the crown alone for now. My estimate of hair for this would be about 3000-3400 grafts to have the correct density. I agree that you should seek a personal consultation so that the appropriate plan of care could be personalized for you.
