Hair-transplant FUT/FUE options? Norwood 7 low donor density (photos)

Question

In my thirties, have been losing my hair for over a decade now. Solidly in Norwood 7 territory with low donor density, I know this wouldn't be a walk in the park but could FUT/FUE even be considered? A hairline with medium density scalp would be great. Basically I'm trying to find out if I would come out on the other end, 3-4 sessions/25000$/2 years later with mediocre results unless I got really lucky. I have no problem harvesting from my chest/beard if necessary. Maybe in combination with SMP?

According to your pictures, you are not a condidate for the hair transplant. The donor area is very limited and you have an advanced norwood scale. The FUE or the FUT cannot performed for your case as the donor area is limited and the result will be very low coverage and very low density.

Hello and thanks for your question. I’m sorry to say your donor area is very low and it doesn’t look like you’re a good candidate for a hair transplant. Best wishes.

As a Norwood 7 you are not a candidate for hair transplant surgery. A better option would be to consider Scalp Micropigmentation.

First, your donor area needs to be assessed. From the photos you supplied, there is a suggestion that you have a low donor density of possibly DUPA. Good metrics on your donor area is critical
