Senior Member socates123 Posted April 11, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted April 11, 2013 Just curious I would suppose anything less than 2000 is not worth pursuing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member GreatPelo Posted April 11, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted April 11, 2013 Number of grafts depends on your need (area that needs to be improved) and density in donor (can't harvest too much per session in order to leave a fine linear scar). Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Mickey85 Posted April 11, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted April 11, 2013 I personally would not entertain the idea of fut for anything less then a norwood 5. The only 2 threads you will ever need: Revamped Advantages/Disadvantages of FUE. Myths dispelled. Educate yourself Everything FUE.

Senior Member socates123 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 11, 2013 I need 4000 grafts,I noticed that the range of grafts obtained from strip varied between 2K - 5k (correct me if I'm wrong but it is highly dependent on scalp laxity, longer the strip the larger number of grafts obtained. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Jotronic Posted April 12, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted April 12, 2013 I need 4000 grafts,I noticed that the range of grafts obtained from strip varied between 2K - 5k (correct me if I'm wrong but it is highly dependent on scalp laxity, longer the strip the larger number of grafts obtained. ) This really depends on three factors. Your donor density, your donor laxity and the clinic you choose. In our office the average patient can get 4500 to 5000 on the high end before they are considered above average for laxity and/or density. To not be able to get 4000 grafts would indicate that one of your donor characteristics is below average.
