Norwood 6/7 - what are my chances?

Hi, general question about advanced baldness.

I'm a Norwood 6/7. What are the chances of me having a great hair transplantation result at some point in the future, e.g. using beard hair, in 10 years time for example? Would FUE from the beard area leave my face looking scarred?

I'm asking as I'm tempted to soften my beard with some laser hair removal so wondering whether I should keep hold of it for that reason!

Many thanks.

Your scalp donor looks pretty thin right now. If you were to use beard only or mainly for your HT you`d need to buzz it right down as the hair does not grow like scalp hair.
Your head shape looks good. Maybe just forget about a hair transplant.
Smp is an option for you. You already shave down. It will give you a different look.

There is a considerable amount of risk if you were to go for a transplant, as it might not work out and get you satisfied and in the end you decide to shave down anyways or even worse wear a hat with probably a 25,000+ £ spent if you were to decide on a quality clinic.

There are people who have reversed losses like the loss you have but they are few. In my opinion there is too much risk on your level of loss.
