Regular Member percahontas Posted June 2, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) Is this an accurate amount of grafts? I’m 24 and mainly focused on frontal/hairline area. Do not want hairline lowered, just from where it’s at in the front angled toward the temples. I’m scheduled for surgery in 2 weeks and just seeing if anyone disagrees with the amount. thanks!

Senior Member asterix0 Posted June 2, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 2, 2023 Always consult with multiple doctors, preferably top clinics. You can also do some estimates yourself. Take a tape measure and find the square cm area you want to implant. When you consider a transplanted density of about 40 grafts per cm^2, you can approximate how many you'll need.

Dr. Carman in person quoted 1600-1800. LA Fue said about 2000-2500. One clinic said to wait. 2 from Turkey gave me anything from 1600-3000.

Senior Member Big Rome Posted June 2, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 2, 2023 are you on any medication to prevent further loss? 24 is very young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted June 2, 2023 Administrators Share Posted June 2, 2023 24 is very young. You have to be on medication. If you're not, I would not advise getting a hair transplant. That said, 1,800 grafts are enough to fill the corners as long as you're not trying to lower the hairline. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

I’m on fin and oral minoxidil I think density would be good, you could always go up to 2,000 grafts if you want more density. But between 1,800-2,300 is a good number.
