Great information... but no idea what it means. Can you help?

I just finished my second day of surgery and received 4800 grafts!

 

They broke it down each day with a "per graft hair count."

And then gave an average of hairs per graft.

 

It looks like this:

 

Day 1 - Day 2 -

Single - 501 Single - 443

Double - 1290 Double - 1084

Triple - 548 Triple - 727

Multiple - 62 Multiple - 149

Ave hair/gft = 2.07 Ave hair/gft = 2.24

 

Soooooo, what does that mean to you?

Are those good numbers?

 

Is this data a predictor of how good a result might turn out?

(I know there are lots of factors, but just curious how these numbers stack up on the spectrum)

 

Thanks for your opinions!

Looks like good numbers to me. Definitely not bad.

Thanks Spanker

 

If I'm doing the math right, that equals approximately 10,361 hairs. (assuming "multiples" means 4 hairs).

 

Again, not sure what it all means in the grand scheme of things though.

 

And to simplify:

 

Total singles - 944

Total double - 2,374

Total triple - 1,275

Total multiple - 211

 

Total grafts - 4,804

Total hairs? - 10,361

[Spanker]

It's a component that will make up your total result. In addition, caliber, texture, color, and yield are the other components that ultimately determine the result you will have.

Thanks again Spanker,

 

Does the average hair per graft number mean much? How do my numbers look?

 

Some of the factors you mentioned (like yield), won't be realized for some time, so I'm looking at the data in front of me, wondering if it means much, if anything!

 

What do you think? Do you see this info reported much, and does there seem to be any relationship to a good result?

 

Thanks again
