Number of grafts during first surgery

[FinallyHT]

In my first surgery, I had a total of 3,400 grafts put in.  When I asked the doctor's staff the breakdown of grafts they said this. 

Singles: 400 Multiples 3,000.   Without getting the exact numbers for 2,3, and 4 grafts, do I have high density multiples? Would 3400 grafts yield more singles for other patients?

In my case, the clinic barely extracted 5,5% of singles. The singles were really hard to find because I had almost all multiples.
In your case they extracted about 8% singles.
Why? Who knows!
Maybe they extracted 400 singles because the doctor decided that he just needed 400. 
If the doctor looks for a dense pack, the less single he uses, the denser the HT will appear.

Yes, he dense packed.  I wondering if I have more multiples versus singles.  I guess I do, and thats good in order to achieve density. That's what I am trying to figure out.

With FUT you can calculate the % of singles -multiples.
With FUE it is literally impossible.
Anyway, happy for your dense pack.
