Someone who know a lot about hair transplantation?

[FUE-2014]

Hi guys,

 

I have a question i need too ask you.

 

When it comes too the donor-area (back of the head). How many grafts do one person have?

 

If i already have used 2000 grafts in my previous HT, how many grafts do i have left?

 

Here are some donor-are pictures. Maybe you can decide from looking at them.

 

why i am asking you this i s beacuse i have read from patients in different forums who have done their HT with let us say 4000 grafts. Then their surgeon have sad too them that they have about 4000 grafts leeft for future HT.

 

I want too know if this is true?

Donor density can vary dramatically between individuals. Only a microscopic analysis of your donor zone will tell what you have available.

 

But let me say this. The average individual has approximately 6000 - 8000 harvestable strip grafts "providing" they maintain proper laxity between the subsequent procedures.

 

FUE can extract higher numbers if the virgin donor density is high. Lower virgin densities can leave the patient with a more moth-eaten appearance if their density is below average to begin with.

No one can give you a solid answer, but if you are average in all areas you should have another 3 to 4k grafts FUE.

Do you mean that the average individual has 6000-8000 fue grafts?

 

In my case i have already used 2000 fue grafts. So i will have between 4000-6000 fue grafts left?

 

My pictures maybe aren't that good beacuse i hade shaved my head that same day. But what do you think after looking at them?

Everyone is different I have used 11000 grafts and have about another 2000 grafts by strip left but they can't take out all your grafts in one session they take as much as they can then stitch you up let you heal for year or two during this time scalp stretches again so you can take another strip containing as much as they can.

No, I stated that the average individual has roughly 6000 - 8000 harvestable "strip" grafts.

 

Pics do not tell what your actual donor density is, only a microscopic evaluation will confirm it. Otherwise it's just an unconfirmed guess.

 

Remember, donor density varies between individuals.
