How many grafts do I need to get NW2?

[Fermat]

Been on minoxidil for 5 years and finasteride for 2 years which has stabilised me very well, but not happy with the small (albeit still some) regrowth so looking to mainly patch the temples up and maybe some thickening on top. Not trying to get back my NW1 hairline, think more along the lines of NW2. What is a good estimate for the number of grafts this would take? I have thick hair in the donor area. I understand there are many more factors, so rough, range estimates are fine.

Probably around 2500

My guess is 3000 to 3500 if you want to go back to the crown down the center. I think 2000 and you still have some thin areas.
