Thanks for your comments! As I just mentioned with the last post I am more of a NW4 -5 however about 55 with stable hair loss and a donor supply of about 6,000 total. So do you believe that 40 grafts per sq cm is a reasonable expectation for an initial total graft of between 2,100 and 2,500? If not, what density do you think is reasonable?

Thanks Strypp! Hopefully I'll get some addl feedback to add some other perspectives.

I'm just trying to understand what density is the usual density after a hair transplant using 2,100 to 2,500 grafts. Is it as little as 20 FU/cm or is 40 FU/cm reasonable?

what kind of pictures do you want?

I am new to this. I have spoken with several doctors and I have a dilemma. Both doctors state that they would do between 2,100 and 2,500 grafts in one sitting for my transplant. However doctor A says with a density of 20 FU/cm I could cover say 90% of what I want while doctor B says he would achieve a density of 40 FU/cm and cover the same or more. Doctor A says that many doctors claim higher density but that their survival rate is much lower than his thereby achieving even a lesser result that doctor A's 20 FU/cm. Both doctors belong to all the "right" medical associations and have been mentioned in these forums with good comments. Doctor A has over 30 years experience while doctor B has 20 plus years. I like them both but, of course, I want higher density. So who or what should I believe or how should I interpret this info?
