Regular Member Lotsofhair Posted December 18, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted December 18, 2012 Hello everybody, Let's say I want to have a 2000 grafts ht. My donor will probably (I'm throwing figures) give 1400 1 hair grafts, 500 2 hair grafts, 100 3 hair grafts. What if I wanted to use all of this for the hair line only (where it is advisable to use only 1 hair grafts in my understanding) : would the hair transplant surgeon dissect the 2 hair grafts into 1 hair grafts? And in any case, are there any drawbacks to doing this (not natural, harming grafts, lower survival) ? Or just things to take into considerations. Thanks : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Cant decide Posted December 18, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 18, 2012 Splitting grafts should not be an issue in any way and it is done all the time when there are not enough ones for the procedure.

Regular Member Lotsofhair Posted December 18, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 18, 2012 Cant decide. Thank you! However, I should add that a Dr. mentioned that what happens is (understandably) there is less graft tissue around dissected grafts... this might be a factor to consider.
