Maximum density of hair transplant possible

[NAVI]

They say that the maximum density of 40 45 Fu/cm can be given because beyond that the grafts won't survive. What if a diffuse thinner has a density of 30fu/cm remaining and he wants to add 30 more at the front to make it 60?would that also be a problem for graft survival?

[Melvin- Admin]

The maximum density for one session should be between 45-55 grafts per cm2. Someone with diffuse hair loss should not be seeking maximum density. You need to conserve your grafts.

Ultimately, u will end up loosing the diffuse hair and only transplanted hair would be left. So  if u add in maximum density to the diffused hair ,finally you would be left with 45 only but the difference would be that until that time you will have a high density. If you don't go for full density now, you will go for it later when diffuse hair fall out. So why not do maximum density now itself. Obviously I am talking here about people who don't want to be on finastride

The average density of hair transplant is ranging from 30 to 40 follicular units per square centimetre. Through this density, nearly 2000 follicular units to cover the frontal area as well as the mid-scalp in the highest grade of baldness.

This was the belief 5 or so many years ago.  Now-a-days, given advanced techniques, for lack of a better phrase, doctors are truly getting full density looking type work with only one procedure.  45-55 as Melvin indicates seems to be the norm.  2000 grafts concentrated on the hairline is not uncommon.  It all depends on the goal of the patient and the experience of the doctor.  To do a front and top with decent density would require far more grafts.

Ok thank you i came to know that 2000 grafts concentrated on the hairline is not uncommon, before that i think its common, i know that the doctors are using the latest technologies, but before taking any decision we will consult to doctor because we donot know why the hair fall is occur.

Agree.  It is best to go to a professional who is well versed in hair restoration, its common causes, (and not so common), and remedies.  Typically a hereditary condition but there are plenty of self immune systems that can also affect the condition.  There are even others, like trichotillomania which is neither here nor there.

I think sometimes we are missing an important point when thinking about grafts/cm2 - hair characteristics. If you have thick and curly hair, you will need less grafts/cm2 to achieve dense looking result and vice versa for thin and straight hair. Thus focusing solely on such parameter wouldn't make sense.

Experienced surgeon would determine exact amount of grafts one would need per cm2 to achieve decent result after analyzing individual's hair characteristics.

Thank you Lasercap for clearing my  view which i have now you provide me the important knowledge regarding this. But i think hair transplantation is not the bad thing, it take time but hair will after from where the human loss or not come.

Hair loss, in most instances, is not a bad thing. Yes, it does take time to mature and it will be permanent, in most cases.  Unrealistic expectations, incompetence, and conditions beyond our control are typically the culprits.

[CharlesRobinson]

yes, LaserCap we are culprits, hair loss problem is not the big deal but in today's time we all use so many chemicals on our hair like shampoo, colouring hair and many more things; It effects a lot to our hair roots. This is also one of the biggest reason of hair loss.
