I have been to couple of clinics. One told me that I am not a suitable candidate for transplant and another told me we can do 2500 to 3000 grafts at the max. The results will not be full head with hair. Need some opinion. pics attached.
Answer: If you are looking for a second or third opinion on if you would be a candidate for surgery If you are looking for a second or third opinion on if you would be a candidate for surgery it would be best to see a doctor in person. Photos cannot assess your donor hair.

Answer: Hair Transplant Thank you for your question. You would be a good candidate for FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) involves removing healthy hair follicles directly from a donor area on the scalp (usually at the back of the head where the hair is plentiful) and grafting them onto the bald or thinning areas. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, and can take between 12-18 months to see the final results.

Answer: Number of Grafts Without seeing you in person it's impossible to give you an exact answer. However based on the pictures I would say the two opinions you got seem like they are about correct- if you could have a transplant, it likely would only be with a few thousand grafts and it wouldn't be enough for a full head of hair.

Answer: Is my donor area too small to have a hair transplant? Your donor area does appear limited. You should be a candidate for a conservative procedure, focusing on the front/hairline area and perhaps onto the top of the scalp, but not into the crown.

Answer: Hair transplant The average person can have 6,000 – 8,000 grafts safely harvested without the donor region appearing thinner or over harvested. Once those grafts are used then you have the additional option to use body hair such as beard, chest and back hair for additional density and coverage. A great first step would be an online consultation. Often you can submit photos to top hair restoration surgeons for a complimentary evaluation and assessment. This should help lead you in the right direction. Having multiple consultations with different doctors will let you know your best options.
