Theoritically only Single haired Graft are used on front hairline

neither of these hairlines look pluggy, so i think based on the criteria of 'do they look pluggy?' they are tolerable. which is of course subjective.

i wonder why this happens. maybe when the graft was harvested it only had one hair inside it but it actually had just shed a hair so it was a 'secret multiple' 🤫

This can happen sometimes with the best of doctors...sometimes some multis can sneak through...2 multis won't make your hairline unnatural

It's just maths. Apple has probably the highest manufacturing tolerances in world, with something in the region of 99.9% efficiency. Cars also impressive but less than that.

So even if the best hair restoration surgeons in the world were to meet Silicon Valley-levels of manufacture efficiency at 99.9% of all grafts being placed correctly (angles, direction, singles vs multi's, extraction, transection etc), a transplant of 3,000 grafts would be perfect for 2,997 of those grafts leaving 3 "errors". Of course, hair restoration has nowhere such parts-per-million tolerance, and its efficiency would therefore be much, much less.

If the worst thing you can say about a hair transplant is that there's two or three double graft hairs in the hairline then you've had an incredible result by mathematical/statistical standards. That's a tiny, tiny amount of work falling 'out of tolerance' in the HT process - all of which is manually done by hand remember during surgery.
