[QUOTE="Bentiger07, post: 113635, member: 13543"] lexer, Feel free to PM me on your hairloss questions (or if you have a thread somewhere, let me know). I'm glad to help, but it's off topic for this thread. Did 2800 grafts, but that shouldn't tell you much. Maybe I have more loss than you. I'd post the link of where I shared pics of my scalp on a hair loss forum to give you an idea, but I'm not sure if that's allowed here. You can just search hair loss forums and start a thread with pictures of your scalp. People will help. Always good to get another set of eyes before doing surgery. I had 1 top doctor that wanted to do only 1200, and then a 2nd surgery of 1200 6 months later. From what I've been told, a bad deal to damage tissue twice when not needed.
