Thanks for the reply. I like no-shave if it doesnt hurt results.

BTW I was very impressed with the step by step videos that
Dr. Dorin and Dr. True did that you have on your website.
Those videos definitely moved True & Dorin way up on my
list of potential doctors.

I had one question though.
Would you say it is not usual for True and Dorin
to do large strip sessions in the 4000-5000 graft range?

I noticed on your site that most of the pics seem to be in the
teen-2500 range. I am thinking I will need at least 4500 grafts
if not more and I would like to get them all in one session so I only
have to deal with the long "healing period" once instead of twice.

Not every patient has the donor or the scalp elasticity to reach 5000 grafts in one session. We do not want to risk getting a bad scar from putting a lot of stress in that area. We certainly have cases of 4000 grafts but again not everyone needs that many and not all can actually get that much in one sitting. This is best to speak about during a consultation so we can examine your donor supply and see what is viable.
