Class 7 pattern planning
Is my donor area too thin to use for a hair transplant? I have sent the same pictures to a doctor who said we could do 5000 grafts, with permission to use around 800 grafts give or take from my beard, but I am concerned they just want my business.
I don’t know your age, but you clearly are developing a Norwood Class 7 pattern of hair loss. That means that you MUST develop a Personalized Master Plan to get hair back and always look normal. A good hair doctor will measure your donor supply and your hair mass index and when you believe that a hair transplant is the right approach, the plan must take these two factors into consideration to make sure that you always have hair and always look normal. I believe that if your hair is fine, that 5000 FUE grafts taken from your donor area will be a disaster. Take a look at this man who followed his class 7 pattern from the age of 30 and has always kept hair. We developed a strategic Personalized Master Plan for him to be able to keep up with his hair loss. What is significant about him, is that he had about 250,000 birth hairs on his head (Caucasian is usually 110,000) and his hair was medium coarse and wavy which was highly desirable. His ability to get 11,000 grafts was unusual, but for him, it fit his personalized PLAN: https://baldingblog.com/norwood-class-7-pattern-patient-received-11000-grafts-plus-smp/
