Bill - Seemiller Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Mochi, Many hair transplant patients I've talked to has lost a graft or two during the first 10 days. Though it sounds detrimental to you, since every graft counts, don't sweat it. High growth yield minus one graft won't make any difference Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mmhce Posted November 28, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted November 28, 2008 Isn't it true that on average 7-8 grafts per 1000 will be lost? take care... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member latinlotus Posted November 28, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted November 28, 2008 Originally posted by mmhce:Isn't it true that on average 7-8 grafts per 1000 will be lost? I think it is way too low. You are talking about less than 1% of loss. Dr. Cooley, who is usually brutally honest, when i asked him about the yield topic, told me that for the average FUT case in the best hands, the average survival is probably 70-90%. If you want a more detailed answer you may contact him directly. ******** I am not a doctor. The opinions and comments are of my own. HT with Dr. Cooley on Nov 20, 2008 2097 grafts, 3957 hairs Proscar, 1.25 mg daily, skip the 5th day, started Nov 2007 My Hair Loss Blog - Hair Transplant with Dr. Cooley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mmhce Posted November 28, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted November 28, 2008 I find 10% to 30% non-viability of grafts extremely high!! Any further comments on this quantity? Bill..anyone? take care... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
