My Doc says 1000 from chest hair and rest 3000 from back head. Attached are top view and back view ( which doc claims are not much dense though would do). Please advise!
Answer: Thin dono Your donor does look a little bit thin however the ultimate results available donor hairs is indeterminate. But the principle is to take as many from scalp first before going to the chest.

CONTACT NOW Answer: You are bald You are bald or balding to a Norwood 6 ot 7 based on photos.Before embarking on such a large number of grafts, you need to have a realistic expectation of what 4000 grafts will produce. It will never give you the hair you once had. You need a master plan.

Answer: 4000 FUE grafts 4000 FUE grafts would give you sparse coverage over this large of an area if what I see in the photos is accurate. You risk a moth-eaten or sparse appearance of the hair at the back as well and the other risk is that body FUE hair (and FUE hair in general) can sometimes not grow as well as other grafts (like from the traditional method) since they are so delicate. However, if diffuse coverage is your goal, this could be successful for you. You have class 6-7 male pattern hair loss so you might need 5-8 thousand grafts to really get you covered. Possibly two surgeries? Bear in mind this would be quite a long process for you. Good luck!

Answer: Using chest hair As you think about chest and scalp hair FUE, keep in mind that only about 50 % of chest hairs survive. (the survival is much lower than scalp FUE where the number is well above 80%). In order to cover your scalp with nice density, you'll need about 9000 follicular units. Given that you don't have this many, you'll achieve a thinner coverage with anything less than this number. Many patients choose to focus on the front half and build nice density in that area and either not transplant or sparsely transplant the back (crown). Without seeing your scalp up close, I can't comment on an appropriate amount to move. Certainly your donor is thin but it really depends on your current age and how much thinner it could get. It's critically important to be aware that building nice results with limited donor hair is a real art. 500 surviving chest hairs (out of 1000) doesn't add a whole lot.
