RCWest,
I know there are a few patients out there with over 10,000 grafts over a few procedures. I myself had about 9700 grafts in 4 procedures. All the Best, Bill

Those are amazing numbers Bill! And your density looks outstanding. Do you know if you possibly have any more donor hair left?

20k grafts via fue?
How much does he charge per graft? and over how many sessions? Thats anywhere from $175-$200k! If he puts another 3k into his crown and another 1500 or so at the hairline to make it look stronger.. he will have just about no signs of HL.. That's pretty damn crazy! Aside from the above two questions, any way to find out what the graft survival rate was? On a personal note I am at roughly 6,500 grafts roughly 1k with karamikian in 05 (although it looks more like 500-750) Had a follow up with Dr Feller to fix Karamikians crap, roughly 3k Then another 2,500 or so with Dr Feller... I have roughly 3k left in my donor area. Which is why I want to start looking into beard hair as well, maybe another 3-4k? if I can place roughly 750 into the strip area Between beard and donor that leaves roughly 6k. another 4k into the crown and 2k for the mid section over 3-4 sessions? Keep it at roughly a #5 guard on top and I will be a happy camper.. So who has an extra $50k laying around?

I have a patient that between multiple strip and FUE procedure has received over 11,000 follicular unit grafts. He is actually now asking me about BHT. Lets just say he is slightly addicted.

Hey Doctor Charles! You are actually my choice for surgery right now. Why would someone need that many grafts? Does he have fine hair? Lots of scalp? I would imagine with 11,000 grafts done that his balding area wasn't "too" large?

Wow I am around the 60% in comparison. With that much, I don't think I would worry about HL again... When you mention that the patient requires more. is it a matter of touching up certain spots that are a bit thinner than he prefers or does he have full on bald patches?
