I recently went to a bosley clinic and the doctor told me I would need 2000 grafts in order to get the coverage I desire. However I went to another doctor and was told I would need only 1200 with fue. I not only want to fix my hairline and bald areas but I would like thickness as well. Will 2000 be enough? Or should I talk to the doctor about possibly getting more?

Answer: FUE for thinning hair Given your current thinning hair, I agree that you will likely need more than 2000 grafts to fill the area. This can be done in one session, or can be divided into 2 to 3 sessions. Laser (red light LED) therapy can assist with further hair recovery as well. You should also speak with your consultant about medical therapy to slow loss and regrow follicles that may be dormant.

Answer: Quantity of grafts I would agree with your prior consultation in that you will require a high number of grafts. I would say, however, that 2,000 grafts is rather conservative of an estimate. Then number of grafts will depend on your goals. If you find restoration of the frontal hairline only as an acceptable outcome, 2,000 grafts would be acceptable. To fill in the entire thinning area, you will need at least 3,000 grafts, and likely a secondary procedure down the road.
