Hallo, im 29 years old and suffering from Hairloss since 10 years. I am using propecia since 8 years and was able to stop hairloss now. I want to get a hair transplant and was suggested to do a 1000 FUE Grafts transplant. Would this be enough to cover my hairloss? What do you think about my donor region? Thank you for your help

Answer: FUE transplant to the crown Thank you for all of your pictures - the question you ask is particularly tricky because of the location. Transplants to the crown in young patients are difficult because we simply do not know where your hair loss is heading. What is your family history of hair loss? Are you following any particular pattern similar to people in your family? Are you one of the ones to start hair loss the earliest, or is this pretty common? The reason all these questions are important is because we need to understand where you are headed - the last thing we would want is use donor hairs that would come in handy later on in future hairloss. The other question to eval is density at the recipient site. This determines how many grafts you would need pending yield after transplant. My suggestion to you is go into your consultations knowing this information, and make sure your hair restoration surgeon discusses all these issues with you. Best of luck!

Answer: First FUE, then SMP Your hair loss area seems to be 80 square centimeters with a density of more or less 20 follicular units per square centimeter. Your estimated hair caliber looks like 55-60 microns. Probably your hair loss will increase with time in spite of being on medication. Satisfactory coverage of the crown area should be 50 grafts per square centimeter. So for a full natural and satisfactory result you will need about 2400 grafts in total. I don't have enough photos of your donor area to be exact, however, from what I can see, given your donor area, I might suggest that you protect some grafts for future transplantation using a combination of FUE for the first surgery plus micro-pigmentation.
