So unfortunately I can't give you an accurate answer to your question. I would say that very few patients qualify for the extra dense packing. I would guess that 1%-5% of our patients qualify for extra dense packing.
We end up planting grafts at densities of 40 to 50 FU/sqcm in many of our patients, but I can't give you a percentage.Dr. Paul
Dr. Armani and Dr. Rahal consistently dense pack the hairlines of their patients, both make their incisions with needles. Is it much more difficult for you to plant 70+ grafts/cm?? than 40-50? And what do you think about needles to go over 60 or 70 grafts/cm'
It would be very interesting for many people to see final results from SMG with dense packed (65+) hairlines...!?!?!
