But your case is very unique to someone with a “virgin scalp”. You were a repair patient. Few things that are very unique about your case
- Lower hairline to hide the scars. That’s a lot of grafts.
- Temple points done. Again a lot of grafts.
- A lot of body hairs used. For comparison, one scalp graft can be equal to 2 or 3 or 5 body hair! usually in range of 2-3.
Head size makes a difference but not that big of a difference. 6-7k scalp grafts would’ve been enough for full coverage which is about the same as everyone else.
I don’t think your head size played that big of a role, your scars, temple points used up a lot of grafts and you also didn’t have a lot of scalp grafts due to previous surgeries wasting them. If you had started with a “virgin scalp” your graft numbers would’ve been lower.
