Guest Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 First of all congratulations! We have all been there wondering what we got and what we payed for ! There is no way you can count hairs or grafts for that matter after the surgery in my opinion unless someone wants to sit there and do it, you can't in the mirror yourself. Were you given fu's? If you were they are different size grafts....most grafts average 2 hairs, some one, some 3-4. If you had 1600 grafts you probably have 3200 hairs based on averages. SOME Dr's count during surgery palcement others do not. My first Dr counted every hair he placed. Dr Charles doesnt count, but lets you look at all the paperwork the girls have when they are splitting your grafts any time you want than gives you the actual paper where the girls wrOTE THE TOTALS DOWN. Who was the Dr? Ask him if he kept the totals on the grafts that were harvested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
