Donor area viability - thoughts? (photos)

Question

I’ve been recommended 2000 grafts. How does my donor area look? Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your question! From your photos, it appears you would be closer to being able to harvest around 1500 for a first hair transplant procedure. I am more cautious because in case someone needs a second transplant, I wouldn't want to damage the donor area by trying to take too many the first time.

If you are considering hair restoration surgery, it is important to be well-informed about the procedure. A hair transplant can have life-changing effects on those who are eligible.Your donor area looks capable of safely providing 2000 grafts in the hands of an experienced hair transplant surgeon. Make sure your surgeon has addressed the future need for hair transplants, in the case of continued hair loss.
