alboz Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I rad somewhere that 50 grafts/cm2 is the average hair density ht doctors provide to patients. Dont know if thats accurate tho. But say I'm wrong, what is the average hair density that ht doctors will provide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted January 31, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted January 31, 2020 I think 50 grafts per cm2 is an accurate number for individuals with average hair characteristics. If however the hair has a thinner degree of caliber, the surgeon will probably discuss going a little more higher....if the hair is more coarse, he may suggest going lower. Other considerations such as wave characteristics, color contrast, etc. all have a bearing on the visual end result. 1 Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted February 1, 2020 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2020 The size of the area to be covered is going to make a difference. If you're a NW 6 you're not going to get 50 grafts per cm in the crown. Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

What does it mean? a) the doc put more FU where I'm bald so, my hairline, is more than 50/cm2 b) the doc put 50FU everywhere c) the doc cheated on me Edited February 2, 2020 by duchaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member follically challenged Posted February 1, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted February 1, 2020 Obviously those hairs hairs closer to the receding part are likely to fall as well, so i guess he has replaced those with more DHT resistant grafts to help the transplant seem natural for a longer period of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
