grafts per cm2 - veterans


Recommended Posts

I wonder if the numbers referred to hairs and not grafts.

 

150 grafts/cm2 = insanely dense

 

150 hairs/cm2 /2 hairs/follicular unit graft = 75 follicular units/cm2 = average density

 

This makes more sense to me. It is possible, however, that your friend possesses incredible density!

a friend just had FUT

 

3600 grafts from a strip of 24 cm2

 

which comes out to 150 graft per cm2

 

sounds waaaaay above average

 

thoughts?

 

An average of 100 fu/cm2 might be possible so he would have had 2400 fus in the strip. If 1000 x 2 or 3 hair fus got broken down into singles for hairline work then he gets 1000 extra 'grafts' (total now 3400).

 

So it might be possible.

4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013

1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018

763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020

Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day

thanks guys

 

yeah, it was 3600 grafts

 

mostly ones and twos in the breakdown

 

either they were broken down from larger grafts

 

or

 

the higher number of 1 and 2 hair grafts make it possible to have such a high graft density per cm2

and not look like a rug in person, that is, his donor doesn't appear to be so dense in person, but maybe because they are mostly 1 and 2 hair grafts....

 

his doc said they don't "split" grafts but can't see how else you get 3600 grafts from 24 cm2

 

interesting though

 

guess we'll never know the truth
