Donor area density - Is this a strong donor area? (photo)

Question

Bernardino Arocha, MD, FISHRS · Answer

baldguy50,It is impossible to evaluate your situation from a limited view- with just one picture of your donor area. It does appear that you have some thinning in the crown area, and might even have some retro-grade thinning from the neck up. Hence, the permanent donor zone is under attack from two zones above and below. An in-person evaluation is highly recommended to closely examine your donor for density, elasticity, determine if there are any contra-indications i.e. rule out scaring alopecia. We would also like to evaluate your goals and determine if they are realistic. Our goal to eclipse your desired outcome, with a groundbreaking result wherever possible!Sincerely,Bernardino Arocha, MD, FISHRS

There is no way to tell your donor hair density with a photo.  You need to have an examination with a microscope to count the hair density.

I'd have to see you in person to give you a definitive answer, but from the photo your donor site looks awesome!

Matt Tahsini, MD · Answer

Thank you for the post and photo. From looking at the photo attached, it does look like you have a good donor region. Of course, it would be best if you get the opportunity to have a in-person evaluation. Best, LAHC.
