Asked By:zeninmaking in Toronto, ON

I'm 32 male with a norwood 7 and I've had one unsuccessful hair transplant. I was planning to get a 2nd one but I've been told that my donor area can only give about 3000 grafts - which is not enough to cover my front and mid scalp. What are my options/alternatives?
