Density Question

[Bana]

Yet another density question

 

Is it possible for a doctor to transplant 70-80 grafts per sqcm if the donor area permits it? I have 22sqcm of area that needs to be filled in to create a lower hairline, and would like it to look as natural as possible. I also wear my hair very short sometimes shaved so it is important to have natural results.

 

Total that would be around 1600 grafts. Regardless of the donor scar would you recommend FUE or FUT for natural dense results?

Bana, it is possible.

The most I have heard of is 70 sq.

But there are very few doctors that will or could preform such a detailed procedure.

 

Getting this many grafts into an area, could cause survival rate problems do to blood supply or transection. You really need to consider all options and consequences in doing this.

 

You should do a lot of research into this also.

Bana,

 

You should formulate a list of doctors and ask what their density limitations are most will say 50-60. transection can occur if more that.

 

 

good luck.

Thanks for responding. Do you know if I got 45 grafts per sqcm and shaved my head very short if I'd notice a different in the density of the transplanted hairs and my natural hair?

Bana,

 

HBT has a point. & to be honest I don't think getting the highest density is the main issue. If you want the HT to look NATURAL, the density in the recipient area should be CONSISTENT with the rest of your scalp. There are guys who naturally have a high density, others who don't. If you get dense packing in the front and "nothing" behind, how would that look, especially if you want to buzz your hair?

 

Another issue is the thickness of your original hair. You won't get the same density on a guy who's got very thin, blonde hair as you would on one who's got coarse black hair.

 

What I'm saying is that each case is different and what is suitable for one patient might not be for the next. Nobody can tell you what density you'll get or what would look good on you without careful examination of your scalp and hair type. The quality and availability of your donor area is, of course, a major factor as well in this assessment.

 

Also, beware when it comes to "lowering your hairline". How old are you? How will that hairline look in 10 years? What is your family history? What if you lose your hair behind that artificial hairline?

[Bana]

Hairworthy, I would get the same density all over, I wouldn't have it more dense in the front than the back.

 

And I've heard the story about lowerered hairlines - ten years later. I don't want to be lectured about that again, I've researched it a lot and understand that it's a life commitment. Luckily there is no hairloss in my family history, but then again it doesn't mean I won't lose hair, so I have to think ahead, I am hoping by then cloning will be available, whether it is or not, I am commited.

 

I am young, I won't say my age as I will probably get more lectures, I've done my research and am now finishing up my research before I go in for surgery. It's my personal choice to get a hair transplant to better my confidence so I can live my life like I used to.

Bana,

 

Don't take good advice as lecturing. An attitude, good or bad, can be difficult to convey in typed form. Hairworthy and others answer questions on the forums daily; many times repeating answers time and time again. Though I am working on a new FAQ section to help alleviate the sometimes monotony of repeat questions, everyone wants an answer that is "personalized," and righfully so.

 

You may already know some or all of what is answered to your question at times, but the rest of us don't know that so we try to cover as much ground in our answers as possible. Remember, just because you may already know something that got said, there are many others reading this thread that may not.
