Mine isn't far off that on the back. The sides aren't that low but the surgeons say that they should still put grafts there to be safe. See how my horseshoe almost goes down to the ear level at the back, but isn't as wide as in the image.
That doesn't really look that bad, closer to a NW6 imo. You seem to have pretty good donor area as well, I think it should be possible to get back to a NW2-3 with a somewhat thin crown.

Does your horseshoe really drop as low as portrayed below?

I really don't see many people at all where it stretches down that low, most "NW7s" seem to be somewhere inbetween the above and NW6, like a "NW6.5".
I think is rare to achieve a real NW7 before your 60s. I know a NW7 exactly like this drawing and he's 90. My late grandfather was a classical NW7 since his 40/50s

Yep and that's why my hair loss has been stabilized for a long time and I think my transplant will maintain for decades

But trust me the moment I start shedding hair in my transplant region I will be smart enough to take finasteride or durasteride or whatever it takes to keep it lol

One of my uncles' horseshoes seems pretty similar to that drawing, though he is almost 70. I'm pretty sure he went bald in his 50s, though he was a NW3 in his late 40s. My dad and my other uncle, while they would be typically considered as "NW7" have really more of the "NW6.5" look that I mentioned, even though they went bald in their 20s. You would think it would be opposite, that they had the true NW7 since they went bald young and thus the loss would be more aggressive, but apparently not.

Think Larry David. That's what my head, my dad's head, my uncles head all have. I feel like that picture is about as extreme a nw7 could get. But the view from top is definitely the same.

My NW5-6 is probabbly defined. A small bald spot at the crown is also starting, and that's probabbly what will "eat" the last chunk of hair zone in the vertex

i tried tinder with a 20 year old bald fake bg.

Not a single like, he is automatically eliminated so we can conclude, for a woman who judges on physical appearance (which is the main thing in our society) a bald youngster remains oblivious and no girl wants to approach him

I don't know if he could go all the way back to NW1.5 like I did, because I started when I was NW4ish and had 3 procedures. But I'm pretty sure he could go back to NW3 with 1 procedure, as long as he leaves his crown bald though.

FUT would be a bad idea because he keeps his hair buzzed, but with FUE it would look pretty natural.

Imo the only thing that holds him back is the stigma of being known as a guy who had a transplant. It would damage his "DGAF" image.

Plus you know, when the general public hears that someone had a transplant they expect the person to show up with something close to his teenage density or they consider it a failure. They are not educated about facial aesthetics.
He probably couldn't, he's missing a lot of lower temple points as well...but he's also got seemingly good donor hair so who knows.

Dude, guys with NW1 hairlines and a little acne or chubby cheeks get 0 likes on tinder. 90% of the likes go to the top 5% of users.

It is rare, but not impossible, there are stories of guys reaching NW7 in late teens, but havent seen pics yet, however this is one of the youngest cases ive seen with a real NW7.

As you would say true NW7 DUPA martyr. Even the beard at the sideburns is affected.
At 30 I think he is going to lose the rest of the horseshoe around the ears and will be left with a diffuse rectangle at the back.

Like the picture above, this is as far as it goes.

The Second pic is Very interesting, He lost his entire side hair. Just a chunk left in the back. I've beber seen It.

Style begins with hair.

In this before pic of Elon Mask, no matter what he would try to wear or if he buzzed it he would still look bad.

He has excellent, vigorous side patterns and a lot in the crown in the before. Min/finasteride might have salvaged that hair line but his transplant results are great and show how necessary it is to have lots of donor hair above the ears.

Yep, thick donor + FUT (higher density than FUE) then he stayed on finasteride and responded well with no side effects I guess. Basically cured.

Major cope. ure like those incels trying to be edgy and blackpilled with no real life experience or knowledge.
Shave your head, get in shape and dress well. See how well you do. Like most guys here and myself, you'd find that you have no chance. I concluded that f Statham can do those things and do well then it must be because of his fame and stardom.
