The main difference between you and me is I already had 3 transplants. Yes, my hairline is like that of a NW2, but it is super thin. I've used up most of my scalp donor supply already.
In many posts, you imply I'm a NW2 with lots of hair and should not be worried.
Fact is, I'm a NW4a, whose paid for 3 hair transplants already. Depending on the camera lighting, you either can't see my scalp in front, or can't see my hair in front.
OK, I'm not a NW5 yet. But I do have a 1 inch wide diffuse path down the center which I can see in the mirror. And if I buzz my hair to less than 1/2 inch long, you can see a circle in back 3 inches wide that is thinner than the rest. Very noticeable if I shave my head.
When I get the tattoos, I'll do my scar, my vertex, the top path, and in front of my ears. I'll also do the rest of my front, but after I get some BHT done.
I figure $2000 for the tats, and $20,000 for the BHT.
As for you, you got probably 50% more area to fill than I started with. Or maybe twice. At least you won't be wasting $9 per graft on Bosley the first time and get a bad scar, or get a third hair transplant where none of it grows out. Yes, I got on Propecia younger than you did, but you are getting hair transplants when they are much more advanced.
