Is This a Class 6 or 7 Pattern of Balding and What Can I Expect from a Hair Transplant? (Photo)

The class 6 or 7 pattern of balding is a real challenge for a hair transplant. You must assume that you will have a Class 7 pattern, even if it is not classically there now. The average Caucasian has a 3,600-graft FUE graft limit and 7400-graft strip limit. The average Asian (Japanese, Chinese. Korean, Indian and many people from the middle east) has 288-graft FUE limit and 6,080-graft strip limit without depleting the donor area (to the point that it becomes bald). If a person has fine hair, then these numbers will drop by up to 50%.  The  grafts have to be used wisely, so you and your doctor need to discuss realistic expectations for graft placement . This means that your doctor must be experienced, artistic, and a good communicator to get you what you want and need.
