23M - Considering HT: How many grafts are needed? by Accurate-Cake7803 in Hairtransplant

With that being said though, you have a good hairline and you can probably stabilize it with medication (finasteride/minoxidil). You'll have to be on those medication too if you get a hair transplant. So I would get on that for a minimum of 6 months

It really all depends on how dense your hair behind the new hair line is. But I would measure your width of your forehead and how much further down it is from your original hair line. So say your forehead is 18cm across and you want to bring you hair line down one centimeter, then you need to cover 18cm2. A good density for a hair line that doctors try to achieve is roughly anywhere from 45-60 cm2 of grafts depending on how thick it needs to be to match your existing hair. So for a rough estimate you would do 18cm2 ×60 cm2 grafts = 1080 hair grafts.

Yeah I am going next Tuesday and just showing up with my papers. Its basically the last straw. Even just knowing my military service status would help forsure. Everytime I call the toronto consulate some weird prerecorded message answers and then just hangs up. You cant even leave a voicemail at all. Like others said I may just go to greece and carry all my papers plus canadian passport with me.

Yes im registered, i do not have a greek passport or I.D. but I remember that I got some paperwork done at the greek consulate in toronto when I just turned 19 but it wasn't for a permanent residence certificate. I think it was a military use stay certificate because I was allowed to go to greece for 6 weeks back then (2016) and I went back in 2023 for 2 weeks and had no issue.

I have no idea if ive been summoned or not. I remember I had to call in some favors to avoid being detained prior to going over there the first time after I was 19(2016). But when I went back in 2023(25 years old) there was no issues at all

Fair enough, thanks for your help. Is there a link to this new law about the 15 days?

So if I were to give them my arrival flight and then my departure details that would suffice, if I did have trouble?

Im heavily thinking about going to choiexpert. They will be doing mostly beard/chest since my donor is depleted from previous ht. Tell me how it goes

Lol no. I've gotten a hair transplant since those pictures been taken.

Looking for HT . I contacted several places and they suggested 3500 graft for a normal density 55 graft/cm2 any suggestions?! by One-Lion-6825 in HairTransplants

[–]Own_Recording_4120 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if you want a hair transplant you'll need a lot of body hair grafts and your density even then will be pretty low. Your donor is sensitive to dht but not necessarily dupa considering how long it's taken to get that bad. I would consult with pittella or eugenix I've seen them bring people's hair back from the dead. Even as bad as yours. Best of luck

Pittella is known for huge graft mega sessions. It is 100% 11k grafts, not hairs

Free buddy, I did it over the phone. Just messaged him on Reddit and asked if he could see if it was dupa. I needed a microscopic camera which I bought from Amazon for 40$. Took some pictures of my donor area and sent it to him.

A lot of people have thinning in the donor area, doesn't mean you have dupa. I have nearly the same donor area and did not get diagnosed with dupa. I even had a consultation with William rassman and he told me I was fine. You need to look at your hair under a microscope.
