What’s the Average Number of Grafts That Can Be Transplanted in a Lifetime?

Many thanks doctors for providing help to all of us!! Your blog is very interesting.

How many grafts it is possible to extract from a caucasian male with an average donor supply over the course of his life? Does it make a difference whether it is a FUE or strip? 9,000?

Generally there are around 6,000 to 10,000, but it is depending on many factors, including race, ethnicity, scalp laxity, and hair density. We have transplanted as high as 10,000 grafts in a few of our patients over several surgeries. Others we max out at 6,000. Every patient is different.
