Regular Member jeff1986 Posted November 6, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted November 6, 2014 One of my concerns before proceeding with FUE is - what will happen with my donor area? My surgeon told me that I should not be worried about that because, if 1500 follicular units will be transplanted then the remaining ones in the donor area will grow thicker and the problem will be mitigated. However, I can't find any references in the Internet that would confirm this claim. I would like your opinion (preferably based with experience) on following question: 1. If you had ~1500 grafts taken out - did you notice that hair in the back of your head became noticeably thinner? Is claim made by my HT doctor true or false? 2. What happens with transected follicules after failed extraction attempt? Are they permanently lost or do they regrow? 2. On average, how much donor grafts are there on the back of the head?

Regular Member elegant185 Posted November 7, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted November 7, 2014 Getting thicker or not, have a look in some donor areas that have had more then 3000 grafts taken. There's a lot on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
