Im scheduled for a FUT procedure in Oct, but lately I’m regretting my decision. I’ve had a bald spot for at least 15 years; it’s slow growing. Looking at my dad & grandfather, I can see where I’m heading in my 60’s and on. If I get my crown covered with a 5000 graft procedure, should I be concerned about gaps appearing on the back & sides as my hair recedes? And looking weird when the front goes? I’m 80% sure I want to cancel, but before I make the call, I want to see if anyone here has advice.

Answer: 5000 Graft in Vertex 5000 grafts into a vertex of that size should leave plenty of grafts to integrate into the native hair fringe to help with the possibility of more hair loss. On the morning of the procedure, we sit down with the patient to draw out the grafted area, and during this planning session, you should make sure the physician understands your concerns about future hair loss.

Answer: Crown Hair Transplant Hello and thank you for your great question. I’m interested to know how old you are as this could make a difference in your decision. Having 5000 grafts if all at once is not good. I would suggest doing that in 2 separate sessions. Also keep in mind that 5000 grafts is a lot and could deplete your donor area or not leave much for future procedures is needed. I know a lot to think about. You might want to get an in person second opinion before you commit to anything. I wish you luck.Thank you, Dr. T
