Is this a good donor area? (Photo)

Question

I had a fue one week ago,the doctor told me i have a good donor area but i want some other opinion.

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

You cannot assess the donor area with a photo.  It just looks like you have lots of hair like most men with hair loss.  If you are an average male with hair loss, your donor area should be average.

Michael Vories, MD · Answer

Your photo must have been before the FUE procedure, but from the photo it does look like you have good donor hair. When we evaluate donor hair, we look at both the quantity of donor hair (density) and the quality of donor hair (caliber). Your hair looks good from both aspects.

Robert Jones, MD, FISHRS · Answer

Based on the photo, your donor area looks very dense. I would say the shaft diameter of your hair and the density are both above average,

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

To determine the value of the donor area the doctor needs a hand microscope to measure the follicular unit density present. That will tell you much about your total donor supply

Cory Torgerson, MD, PhD, FRCSC - Account Suspended · Answer

I would have to agree, the donor area looks good. You should be able to safely get at least 4000-5000 grafts from this area over the course of your life without any overharvesting.
