Regular Member Brav989 Posted November 21, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted November 21, 2005 I'm curious, what is the best way to determine how many SQ cm is in an area you are going to have grafts placed? When I eventually do my next HT I'm going to have the entire thing done on the front/hairline area and i'm curious how many square cm is in that area . Any help figuring this out is appreciated.

Regular Member rpm Posted November 21, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted November 21, 2005 the graft calculator on this site was a big help to me. My front hairline (areas 2 & 3) was between 30-40 cm2. I wanted a mature hairline for a Norwood class 2a and ended up getting 1200 grafts (35per cm2).

Regular Member Brav989 Posted November 21, 2005 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 21, 2005 I've used that before. But for me on my own head, i'm actually curious how many square centimeters there are that would have grafts placed in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Gorpy Posted November 21, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted November 21, 2005 Brav, I think PB mentioned something about this and I wish I had done it. Take a picture of your head with a ruler next to the area. Then from that you can load it into something like PhotoShop and make litte squares that represent a square CM. ____________ 2700 Total Grafts w/ Keene 9/28/05 663 one's = 663 1116 two's = 2232 721 three's = 2163 200 four's = 800 Hair Count = 5858 1000 Total Grafts w/Keene 2/08/07 Mostly combined FU's for 2600+ hairs My Photo Album See me at Dr. Keene's Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Robert_ Posted November 22, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted November 22, 2005 A few consultations (even online consults) will give you some insight on what experienced and skilled hair restoration physicians would suggest. Ask plenty of open-ended questions when you go to consultations and listen to their recommendations without neglecting to make your own goals known. Whatever the density you wish to have transplanted, it is important that it blend naturally with your existing hair behind it and that your goals are realistic. -Robert ------------------------------ Check out the results of my surgical hair restoration performed by Dr. Jerry Cooley by visiting my Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
