I'm 40 years old. Have zero history of hair loss in my family and have thick hair. I did notice last year the base of my hair in my hair line was thinning. I received a consultation at The hair Doctor in Roseville, CA and she recommended a 500 graft FUE treatment. I do feel like maybe 500 wouldn't be enough? I would like to get some different opinions and input. with my pictures below look a the base.

Answer: You need to have good communication with your doctor to understand what your end result will look like with 500 grafts. You need to have good communication with your doctor to understand what your end result will look like with 500 grafts. It will not likely give you the full density of your existing hair. Someone with your hair loss pattern may be perfectly happy with 500 grafts, while others may not be happy even with over 1500 grafts. You also have to understand fitting 1500 graft in a very small are may NOT be possible since you are implanting hair follicles that is the size of a rice grain. In other words, one surgery may not be enough. To add to the confusion, straight black hair on fair skin results in a thinner appearing outcome then someone with curly blond hair on fair skin. I hope you can appreciate there are many factors to your end result than just a "number" of grafts.

Answer: Neograft FUE for temporal recession correction You appear to have some recession of your temporal hairline, and perhaps some thinning of your frontal hairline. In our Seattle clinic, we would likely recommend 1000-1500 grafts for optimal correction.
