Do I have enough donor hair to cover my head?

Anon485727
Recently went to a hair transplant specialist. Best in the country. They checked my donor area for 30 seconds and checked my area that needs transplanted hair and told me I can get a transplant, but it won't cover my entire head. They told me my hair is thin but good, they said it was "satisfactory", but not too exciting for a proper transplant. He recommended hair system. I have 8" vertical & 6" horizontal balding. Your honest advice?
