Senior Member Telephone Man Posted July 17, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted July 17, 2004 I do not know Rugger, I think when you fell asleep they actually implanted some of your hair into Jotronics head, and told you it was 4600, it was actually 5600 but not all in your head!!! Thinking about a second one, what level were you Rugger (Norwood), any before pics, I got 2100 in February and thinking about another 2500-3000.

Regular Member Dr. Paul Rose Posted July 19, 2004 Regular Member Share Posted July 19, 2004 We actually count the number of grafts being created and the recipient sites.Our technicians are given count sheets. The sheet is much like an Excel page. Each sliver is numbered and the number and types of grafts (1hair follicular units, 2 hair etc)are recorded for each sliver.The sheets are signed by each tech and the number are recorded. Throughout the case estimates are made to see where we are in trms of numbers of grafts. If it appears that we might be short the situation is discussed with the patient and he or she can decide whether we should try to obtain more tissue (if surgically reasonable), refund monies or add to another session if one is planned. In actuality we are generally over in terms of numbers of grafts and patients get more than what they paid for. Aditionally I keep a running count of the recipient sites, marking every 100 graft sites.We can compare my count with the the number of grafts cut by the techs.
