    The Nape Preauricular area is known for having fine and delicate hairs, which are ideal for transplanting to the temples, eyebrows, and hairline. These grafts add much of naturalness and provide you more organic appearance.

    It depends on several factors, but a surgeon can harvest between 500 to 2,000 grafts (at most for advanced cases, I would not recommend) from NPA. If you are asking for it, here are 3 disadvantages of NPA donors you should know before getting them:

    • The hair in NPA will be finer and lighter in color than your hair in other areas so it makes it less suitable for you if you have darker/coarser hair.
    • The NPA is relatively small in donor area, and it may not be possible to harvest enough grafts to achieve your desired result, especially if you have extensive loss.
    • Harvesting grafts from the NPA is more time-consuming process than harvesting from other donor areas. Also has a longer healing time.

    Can you comment on their longevity?  Others have stated that they are the first to fall out.  Is this true?

    They're either in over their head or they've carefully scanned the nape for shrinking and decided to take the risk. 

    Kinda doesn’t make sense.  If they’re elite the first point doesn’t make sense.  Regarding the second point I don’t usually see that comment from posters that had a recent HT where it was disclosed to them from the surgeon.

     

     

     So I don’t know…..
