I lost the hair around my peaks in my early twenties (I'm thirty now), it hasn't worsened much since then. The miniaturized hairs have been like that for years. My hairline looks nearly identical to the hairline my grandfather had through most of his adult life, until he lost it all in his seventies. So, I suspect I should be able to keep what I have. However, I'd like to restore what I've lost. Approximately, how many FUE grafts would I need to do that? Thank you.

Answer: Restore My Hairline It depends on whether you are lowering the hairline or just filling in the receding areas only. It would be between 1200-1500 grafts. It's difficult to see in photos so I suggest in person consultations.Patients who are young should start maintaining current hairs which includes: Medical therapy- the use of Nutrafol and possibly Finasteride should be contemplated. Topical such as Minoxidil should also be considered to help maintain.Regenerative techniques- The use of growth factors including PRP can be used to help encourage hair growth and halt miniaturization of hair.Laser light therapy- Laser caps have been shown in some studies to help decrease hair loss and in some cases help prevent further hair loss.UPDATE ANSWER Tweet

Answer: Grafts to Fill Your Hair Line I feel that you could fill the corners with a density to match the mid-section with 2000 grafts. I would also go through the mid-section and place grafts where there is room. It is possible that even more could be placed, but from the pictures provided, I think 2000 would give you a dense packed natural result.

Answer: Hair Transplant Dear DaveKS25Thanks for the question. After a proper hair consultation , any hair surgeon will advice you to keep on with Propecia for a year and then it would be good to consider a hair transplant surgery. As far as I can see even there are some new hair coming up in the area in which you request surgery. I wish you all the best.
