I was wondering if there was formula used to figure out how many hairs were transplanted to your recipiant site? I see number's like 45 sq cm and so on, how did you guys figure it out?

Dr. Feller came up with and shared a novel approach to finding out exactly what your density per square centimeter is after surgery:

 

If you want to know how many grafts were actually implanted you can get a good idea by taking a photo of the recipient area just after surgery. Make sure to put a ruler in the picture for scale, then import the image into photoshop. Create a 1cm sq box and overlay it over 3 random areas of the recipient area. Count the grafts per sq cm and take an average. Now you know how many grafts you received and it is DOCUMENTED! - Dr. Alan Feller

 

I think it would be a great idea to do this to further document your post-op progress.

Generally people speak of grafts per cm2 because that's what the Dr. told them they got. They don't actually count them themselves.

I guess I will ask dr feller when i go back in 4 months. A lil excited today i am seeing alot of fine hairs starting to grow.

That's cool. We are in the same time frame. My procedure was Sept 28. I also am seeing some fine hairs coming out. Very exiting.

yea it is real exciting since this is my second procedure , I am really looking foward to the final results,. I think I should have excellent density , I am just wondering why my hair didnt look that good after my first procedure in 02 I had hair but very lil definition with 825 grafts.
