Valued Contributor A_4_Archan Posted May 12, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) Insane amount of grafts in first surgery itself...dr pittela is really doing some toughest task...i have heard doctors saying that too many grafts at one go and too much of dense packing isn't advisable as there will be issues of blood supply to so many grafts bt dr pittela is doing this evry other day and the end results are also awesome ....you were under one of the best hands for high nw cases ....work is clean and dense packed as always...best of luck...will be following your journey closely ....

Senior Member Britanium Posted May 12, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted May 12, 2023 Some serious graft numbers here 😯 with the amount of balding you had this can only lead to another superb result 👍🏽 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Gramatik Posted May 13, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) 11.500 grafts in just two days is a record !! Dr pittella is able to extract big number of grafts in just one surgery, without the need to go for a second one!! thats totally a massive improvement while other clinics still strugle to do that...

Regular Member Kixinit Posted May 14, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted May 14, 2023 Did any of these grafts come from below your neck?? 11,000 is an insane amount from just back of your head right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Anon94 Posted May 14, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) That is an absurd amount of grafts. I somewhat struggle to see why so many were necessary. The area doesn't appear to be that large. Edited May 14, 2023 by Anon94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I somewhat struggle to see why so many were necessary. The area doesn't appear to be that large. I’ve noticed this with a lot of the Drs cases this one in particular quite a lot more! I feel like he transplants in anticipation of future loss when it comes to diffuse loss or where the native hair is clearly showing scalp/see through. Also seems to pack the grafts quite densely so this might be why more grafts are required overall? In this case seems like he’s transplanted fairly low down into the crown also? Im assuming given the patients age and 15 years of loss maybe they went for a more densely packed fuller surgery perhaps due to less concern of potential future procedures with the use of meds etc as opposed to if the patient was 25/26 with this level of hair loss My guesses/conclusions at least lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if I have another 2k for full crown coverage I'm at half this amount of grafts. That said, he had the donor and the surgeon gets good survival rates, so this will be very dense!
