Dr. Bisanga - INSIDE THE OP ROOM - How Many Grafts to Rebuild a Hairline?

[Raphael84]

 

There is a still a lot of mis-understanding when it comes to hair transplantation and in particular hair line design and how many grafts are needed.

For some it is just Y=MC2 and a simple equation is all you need! This is okay for putting eggs in a tray that are all the same shape and size and just a matter of pure math.
For a hair transplant however, it is not so simple in terms of dividing an area by a static density to get the total needed.

There are intricate details and protocols to keep to and far more than graft totals/area to get the amount placed as this video will graphically show. Like all things, there are levels in life and this is true in hair transplantation, so if your clinic doesn't understand these basics then don't expect a good outcome and be cautious of sales tactics to the contrary.

In this particular case, you can see that roughly the first 3mm of hairline alone, requires 446 grafts.

This is a really nice educational piece. I don't often see doctors discussing design variables and graft placement on such a specific level.

Wow. I had no idea that would take 400+. Hairline graft implantations look excellent as expected from BHR.

Great video from Dr.B....real eye opener...Plenty of so called experts out there who never really spent a day in an op-room and videos like this take you beyond the veil...really glad it is helpful..we hope to produce many more...stay tuned..

Dr Bisanga has some great educational material on the YouTube channel and i've been fortunate enough to be soaking it all in. 

I definitely used to consider the way a transplant to be like in OP about density in a square CM but the videos from Dr Bisanga etc. have really been eye opening to understanding the role of hair calibre and ultimately in helping to shape the illusion of density all hair transplants really offer.

I do hope that we can get some miracle break through to get unlimited donor grafts that are DHT resistant and i want to see how Dr Bisanga etc. can transform the hair restoration beyond just an illusion of density and return to true density. Perhaps setting the ultimate standard for all others to follow.
