Do I have enough and thick donor area for FUE transplant?

Mo mo TMar 19, 2016
Wondering is my donor area good enough for a hair transplant FUE to fill in some scarring alopecia bald spots and Lower hairline. 3 out of 5 doctors think my area is too thin and don't want to perform a Transplant. Could it be just the quality of the pictures since I never been to meet with them.

Thank you for your question, chinos316. You are right to have these concerns. Your board certified facial plastic surgeon who performed your procedure should have provided you their recommendations and instructions for sleep and wash. I suggest you contact your board certified facial plastic...

It is possible to lower the hair line with a hair transplant procedure. If you have scarring alopecia you need to discuss this with your doctor.

The bald patch on your donor area may be from over harvesting with 5000 grafts. You may want to follow up with your doctor if this is an issue.

It can take six to twelve month after a hair transplant surgery to see results. So at six months, it may be too early to judge.

In general most Caucasian men have 6000 to 8000 grafts available in their donor area. There are always exceptions to the rule.

If you want to fill in the widows peak using FUE method that should be fine. See a doctor for a consultation.  Long hair FUE is also a possibility.
