As my surgeon told me that i might continue to bald. He decided to be conservative and only did 1000 grafts for the M shape. Should i go for a second HT in a year time for the crown area?

Answer: 1000 grafts It's better to begin to make your decision in one year after you see the results of your 1000 grafts.

Answer: Thinking about a second hair transplant I think it was wise to transplant the front first since a good hairline and front will frame your face. As for the rest, I would give it the year to grow out and see where you are. In the mean time, hopefully you are on minoxidil or finastride to slow down and improve the quality of your remaining hair. The crown is a large area different from the front where layering of the hair is helpful in giving the appearance of increased density and fullness. In other words, when the time comes, placing 1000 additions grafts to the crown may not do much and gets lost in the big area. You would likely need upwards of 2000 to make a real difference. Just something to keep in mind.
