FUT hair transplant: I believe I am a Norwood 5. Can I get a youthful lower hairline and cover most of my crown? (photos)

If you keep your hair very short as in the photos, a hair transplant will not likely look very full with your hair loss pattern.  It is best to see a doctor to understand what is possible with surgery.

A hair restoration when properly performed can cover your entire scalp front to back. Your donor region would need to be able to support a larger procedure and you might be looking at two sessions. The patient in the link below had 4,000 grafts FUE with us in one day to restore his head of hair at high density. 

At 48, you can have a hair transplant, either strip or FUE and cover the front and cronw reasonably well. See a surgeon for an evaluation of your donor density
