Dear Doctor
  
I'm almost 32 years old. 5 years on minox. 1 year Finasteride. 1 month Saw Palmetto. 

I had a FUE HT December 2005, 1000 grafts, and I would like to have another HT in a few months when i'm 15 months post op.

See my post in the forum back in December 2005 for details about my previous procedure.

You can see my post op pics from Dec 2005 here:

I'm not so happy with my 1000 FUE grafts result because they were all placed on my diffuse thinning top but all the new hairs are very thin for my new HT.  
 
GOALS
 I would like to have my hairline and temples filled because I have this terrible see through effect in broad daylight. I was thinking of about 3000 grafts but i'm not sure if this is advisable for my case. 

Ideally, I would like to have my hairline back, like the way it used to, see pic immediately below:

By the way, I have a lot of body hair so I can use this in a few years if this is necessary.
 
   
Questions
 
1. Is my hair too thin to have a HT?
 
2. How many grafts i would need?
 
3. As you can see I have diffuse thinning and my temples has gotten a lot worse the last two years. Do you think if this will create a problem for me to have another HT? 
 
4. Is it possible to have 3000 more grafts now and if all fails I can have another  HT in a few years and have strip then because I would be out of FUE donor grafts?
 
5. Or alternatively, do you recommend that I go for a STRIP this time around?
 
6. Based on the pictures, what do you think is the maximum # of grafts I can get in one sitting, by either FUE or STRIP?
 
7. What do you think of this if I choose a dense hairline?  If all the hair fall out behind my new hairline will this not give me a Zidane, Vin Diesel look if I cut my hair very short or will it always look stupid when my front is denser then the rest?  Perhaps I use my best donor hairs for my frontal hairline and I maybe I can use BH later to fill in the rest ?
 

As you can see in my pic immediately below, my hairline has a strange wave in the front right area.  This has bothered me a lot because i could never style my hair properly and now when my hair thinned out in the front it's even worse.  I'm planning on having a new dense hairline.  

Thank you.
