I consulted a reputed HT doctor and he suggested 2500-3000 grafts to cover the front of my head. I am a diffuse thinner at the hairline and temples have receded already. The crown and back doesnt bother me so no transplant on that area. I told him I want a lot of density in the hairline. Still I think 3000 might be overkill. Can somebody please guide me what the ideal number of grafts would be?
