Jimmy,

Can I ask where you had your work done and what your goals were going into the procedure? The grafts do look a little large and 1200 over such a large area will not produce very noticeable results. As an example, I had 1662 grafts in my hairline alone and I need more to add thickness.

I do wish you healthy growing!

The procedure was done in India. The Density at the donor site was not so good and I didn't have much choice. I am planning to have a second session after six months.

Was this your first HT? And who was your doctor?

I find it hard to beleive that 1200 grafts was maxing yourself out. Also, having another procedure after but 6months seems a bit early....at least to me....

I would post more pictures if you can -- before shots and immediately after, if you have them.

Yeah this was my first HT. The graft count was disappointing. What is the average graft count?

I will try to post more pictures.

I would say with your loss, at least a session with 2000 grafts would be 'normal'; and you'd need a couple of those in my opinion.

But, if you can go back in a year or so and get a another couple of thousand you will be in better shape - if this one turns out to your liking.

I would have suggested to start with 2500 or more by FUE method. Depending on your wishes you may even need a follow up session for another 2000 or more.
