I am between a 3 and a 4 on the Norwood scale. I know it’s hard to give a price without seeing me, but I am asking for an estimate that will give me some kind of idea what I can afford.
Thanks in advance,
Terry

Mr. Terry,
As you might expect, meeting a patients expectations depend on many factors with regards to their current state and end goals. Many men depending on age could be very happy with as little as 3000 grafts (esp is you are more of a stage 3 than 4), but I would not be surprised if you came back in at a later date and add another 1500 grafts.
In addition to your pattern hair color, quality and curl can have significant benefits or detractions with regards to your overall happiness. So many factors go into achieving ones desired goal that it can be hard to say what you might spend. But I suspect it would cost somewhere between 10K-15K to produce and nice end result.
If I could see detailed photos and get a little additional input, I suspect I could be more exact. The more conservative you are in design, limiting the areas to be covered, the less grafts you will use. Younger patients who want to cover larger areas with greater densities will obviously use more grafts.
Please let me know how I can assist.
Sincerely,
