Regular Member dolev1591 Posted November 16, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted November 16, 2022 Hi, i have a question, im interested in hair transplant and saw that a lot of time people say that this is an illusion of density, i get why in cases of nw4 nw5, but for nw2-3 that only needs work in the temples(me) if the doctor reaches 50-60 grafts per cm2, then why is it still look way less dense the other parts of the top the head(considering that donor is 60-80 ,so other parts of the front that are also thinner then the donor ,look much fuller) ty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Vann Posted November 16, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted November 16, 2022 A myriad of things. hair quality, density per square centimeter that allows for healthy graft survival, location, angulation, contrast, etc. there’s just a lot of variables and no one’s scalp is the exact same.

If you put 100 grafts per cm/2 to match your native density but you lose 30% of them because they competed for blood supply, then you don't regrow those hair. They're lost and gone forever. Instead if you say went for 50 grafts cm/2, you may only lose say 2-8%, that's significantly less grafts wasted and you can then go for a 2nd hair transplant to add density because the hair from the previous transplant now should have a proper blood supply established and not be competing with other grafts just transplanted. Some cases have shown you can transplant almost 100% of native density and have a higher survival rate, but those are exceptions not the rule imo. I'm a Norwood 2 pre-HT and even then, they didn't pack it at the same native density i had, but that's probably better because it didn't waste grafts, it helped me establish the design of my new hairline and i am now able to go for a 2nd procedure do add density and refinement. Most people think they only need one procedure and that's it, i'm done. They can maybe be happy, but if you're seeking native density, then you are better going for two procedures within 2-3 years than 1 massive dense packing. 1 Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!

Thats the thing, my intention is that i saw cases like mine that i mainly need filling in the temples, the density in the rest of my head(front to crown) is of course much lower then my donor but it is still good enough , so if people have in avarage 60 cm in their donor , why transplanting in 50-60 might look not close to what i currently have on the top?
