Thanks for the question. Based on your photos, the 2000-3000 grafts might be good option for you, but it would be wrong to say something for sure. You should see a board certified surgeon. You can then plan the process together and discuss the results. I wish you all the best.

It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.  Many doctors say that the grafts are considered secure after a few weeks (to be safe).

Tender lumps are not normal.  It may be in your interest to contact your doctor for a follow up exam and possibly receive treatment.

It is normal to shed transplanted hairs weeks after surgery.  The new hairs may take 6 to 12 months to grow.

Lidocaine toxicity is always a risk with any anesthesia.  A doctor should be aware of the risk and make sure you will be safe.Some doctors may not use lidocaine and some doctor may even use IV sedation.  You need to ask these questions to your doctor for the specifics of your surgery,
