I was Norwood 4; 5500 FUE grafts performed on my scalp including crown, over two sessions. I'm really thrilled with the result. However, my crown is still a little weaker than the rest. Upon speaking to my surgeon, he strongly recommended I do an extra1000 grafts for my crown. I am mainly concerned about my donor supply. Moreover, I'm not even sure 1000 grafts would significantly improve it. I have attached photo of my hair in full lighting. Please could you advise on reinforcing the crown

Answer: 5500 grafts Hello, great question. If you had 5500 grafts I’m guessing your donor area has been depleted. I suggest you have a Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) procedure to help cover the areas you can see through. Good luck to you.

Answer: Crown Depleting Donor Area You can take an obvious visual look at your donor area today and what the previous grafts have done to the hair density and cosmetic look. Or you can take a more technical approach and look at your starting hair density measured against your hair density now. The chances are after 500 being removed it has already been over harvested. Unless the FU were split to make up more grafts of course. 1000 to your crown would make a difference but whether this meets your expectations is different. You cannot expect total thickness with no scalp visible. Trying to place this density especially within your existing hair could result in impairing the hair growth. Best wishes with your next step
