Which Stage Are You In?

Based on the graph on above, you can easily identify which stage of male baldness pattern you are in.
I am at somewhere around stage 6 to stage 7 which doctor commented as critical stage as there's no visible hairline anymore.
Doctor recommended me to do a transplant of 3,000 grafts which means 3,000 grafts will be moved from donor area to the bald area as shown on below. (One graft contains 2~4 hair strands in average)
Bald area covered will be around the width of 3 fingers for 3,000 grafts.

On top of that, doctor did mentioned he will try not to touch the middle area (circled in red on above) as there are still active hair scalps and it will cause shock to the existing hair scalps if new grafts are planted there, accelerating falling of existing hair.

There is a saying that hair transplant works best between late 20's to early 30's as there may still be further hair loss during early & mid 20's. Therefore, picking the right timing sounds crucial as well!
