Hey guys, I've been browsing the forums for a while now and one thing that I was wondering was if there was actual equivalence in how grafts are counted across the two main procedures of FUT and FUE...and potentially even within the same procedure type. For example, I read in a different thread long time ago (sorry can't find it) where for older FUT techniques they extracted more hairs per graft so a hypothetical 1000 graft FUT procedure that was done 20 years ago might have the same number of hairs as a 2500 graft procedure done today. On the flipside for FUE, it seems like there's a higher risk of grafts not growing once transplanted so it seems likely that you will need more FUE grafts to get the same result as FUT surgery with 10-20% fewer grafts. Am I correct in this understanding? If so, how should one interpret graft #s when shared by the doctor/other members of the forum?
