Friends, Please do help me with this issue: If a Dr plans to do a 3000 graft session in a matter of about 4 hours, is it realistic and possible with say just a couple technical staff?

I mean is there a possibility that he is actually going to plant less number of grafts than he promised? I will appreciate honest opinions.

I'm not saying you can't do 3000 grafts in 4 hours....but I doubt you would get a good result.

Sounds like BS to me....more like 1200 grafts 3000 HAIRS.

Even that in 4 hours is a stretch..more like 6.

I think you might want to re-evaluate going forward right now.

Take Care,
Jason

I had a 3000 graft session, and it took over 7 hours. I think it was almost 8 hours.

harry101,

Quite frankly, I have a hard time believing a 3000 graft procedure can be performed in only 4 hours, that is, unless the clinic is being hasty - which could be a detriment to the fnal result. Hair restoration surgery is about quality not speed. Thus, I'd be extremely careful with who you select to perform your surgery.

Best wishes,

Bill

well, i had surgery of about 3000 grafts last year by Dr boles of nuhart and it took about 5 hours. i strongly suspect I got less than 3000 grafts. Can someone take a look at my pics and give me their opinion?

Yeah im not to sure about 4 hours...i had 3000 and it took somewhere btwn 6-8 hours..

I had 3500 and it took about 8 hours...

I had a little over 2700 and that took about 8 hours, 3000 grafts in 4 hours sounds quite impossible.

I had 3008 grafts and I believe the total time worked on it minus a lunch break was 8-9 hours.
