Transplanted hair survival rate

[hairman4321]

I'm new here but booked in to get a HT in 2 months. To get a natural looking head of hair, it seems density is critical (as well as other things like conservative hairlines and hair quality).

Part of density, though, is making sure the survival rate of the transplanted hairs is high. I've seen some people get a densely packed HT, but then its end result ends up looking too sparse. But there are also examples of densely packed HT which end up looking great.

Aside from picking a good surgeon and following the after care instructions, what else is needed to ensure the transplanted hairs survive? Are some after care instructions more important than others? Or is it just luck of the draw?

Aftercare instructions are not that important..i mean ofcourse every part of process is important but aftercare don't have a bigger role when it comes to survival rate...its just that you have to make sure that you don't hit or scratch your head so that you don't dislodge grafts...

Surgical skills & experience ,enough blood flow to scalp ,medication are some factors which are more important when it comes to dense packing

Sometimes your own physiology plays a role. Some patients grow worse than others. That’s what you call the “x” factor.

@mark91,

Other than physiology, which can affect growth yield, although it’s not typical that yout physiology will cause any problems, physician selection is everything.  In experienced, surgical hands, both FUE and FUT should produce high growth yield with practically nonexistent transection and/or damage to the follicles.

I hope this helps.
