Dear Doctor:

I am 35 years old. Below are my pictures. I did not send a photo of the back of my head because everything there is fine. If you look at my parents and relatives, nobody has problems with the crown, just the temples.

GOALS
Want to fill or close out the temples.

Questions

1. Based on the pictures, do you think if I am a good candidate for hair transplant?

2. How many grafts will I need to fill in the temples? Can this all be done in one trip?

3. Which technique is better for me, STRIP or FUE?

4. Do I need to worry about permanent shock loss?

5. Will I have to shave any part of my head for the procedure?

6. What if after I had a hair transplant and I lose more of my own hair, will the transplanted grafts look odd if that happens?

7. What is the approx cost under STRIP or FUE?

Thank you and any advice would be appreciated.
