How much to fill widows peaks? (Photos)

Question

I've got a pair of ambitious windows peaks. Owing to some help from dutasteride, they haven't advanced in the last few years. I'd like to get them filled in and to lower my hairline (through hair transplants - not surgically). I havent lost any hair on the back of my head that didn't return after treatment. I'm open to any method, or combination of methods, that look natural. About how much would the procedure cost? I've included photos of what I have now and what I'm hoping is possible.

Hello Dave,
  
Augmenting the frontal hairline and filling in the temples is one of the most common types of hair transplants.  I would recommend recommend 2,000 to 2,200 grafts to accomplish coverage of the areas indicated.  If you are looking to achieve the density in the imaged enhanced version a secondary session of 1,000 - 1,500 grafts may be required down the line.  
  
You keep your hair long and are a good candidate for either FUE  or strip excision for graft removal.  
  
Hope this helps,

Hair transplant surgery is not about "how many grafts" you need, but about how a doctor can match your goals and expectations.
1000 grafts may be good enough for one person but not enough for another (with the same hair loss pattern).

Pictures can be deceiving. Approximately 1500 grafts would be needed to fill in the frontotemporal points and create density with a natural appearing hairline.

You are interested in getting a lower hairline with a good widow's peak. This is easily dcone. To estimate the amount of grafts you would need, I would have to see a picture of you with your eyebrows lifted so that your forehead creases. This will allow me to determine where the hairline belongs
