Do you have video of good harvesting? To understand what's the difference

I was watching several videos about the extraction process and I don't understand how it is possible to prevent the follicles from being cut during the extraction? Here are a few examples and as you can see in the first video at 0:59 (probably) and 1:07 (definitely), two follicles have disappeared. It is not clear if it is destroyed or if it is just hair that is cut off and the follicle remains in the skin, and the hair grows back in its original place. In the first video, 2 out of 10 follicles are gone, which means an 80% survival rate at the moment, which I consider very low.

Also, if the hair is implanted in an area with preexisting hair, the channels that open up can destroy the existing hair follicles. I'm right?

Well, what if he was quoted a certain density and is verifying if indeed that is what he received? 

I asked a very simple question, is my calculation correct? I didn't say that I had any concerns about the results. It would be really nice if you could answer the original question about graft calculation instead of creating a long theory based on empty speculation about where this question came from.

Unless you have a real, tangible reason to be concerned about your results, it seems unhealthy but to be obsessive like this. 

What does counting grafts have to do with being concerning about the results? it seems unhealthy to draw far-reaching conclusions from such a simple question.

I did calculation from another side, and it was 58 in the first square and 70 in the second, that makes 64 grafts per cm2.

Is my calculation correct?

Is it really necessary to sleep 10 days on the back? Or this it only important in first 3-5 days and afterward you can sleep on sides as well, changing position and to not press all the time on the back of your head, because this makes a lot of pain. I notice that normally i have no pain in a donor area but if i sleep all the time on my back the pain comes and i wake up.

I had HT and at the beginning had itching in donor area, but after day 6 I've got some pain in a donor area, especially at night. Then on day 8 the pain becomes extreme, it was a burning feeling left and right of the donor area and i had to take a lot of painkiller to sleep somehow. Day 9 was also very painful. Staring from day 10 it was better. I think it happens because i was sleeping on my back, 45 degree, till day 10. Is it really necessary to sleep 10 days on the back?

I also had the same problem and almost scratched the recipient area while sleeping but it was just a touch and then I woke up. After that, I always wrapped the blanket tightly around me, put my hands under the blanket.

I add a second square, and combine 2 pictures with and without counting circles together to make an estimation easier. The second square counts 54 grafts. That makes an  average of 61 grafts per cm2.(68+54)/2

I don't have much experience but i tried to count the grafts, and got 68 in 1 cm2. Do you think this is the real number?
