How Many Grafts Do I Need for a Hair Transplant?
Quick answer: The number of grafts you need depends on the size of the thinning area, how dense you want it, your donor hair supply and your future hair loss. Only an in-person assessment can give a realistic estimate; be cautious of quotes based on photos alone.
- Area and density: Bigger areas and higher density need more grafts.
- Donor supply: Your donor area limits how much can be moved.
- Plan ahead: Hair loss may continue. Read hair transplant alternative.
