How many grafts do most South Asian (Indian) patients have?
Asians, on average, have about 85,000 birth hairs on their head, so 25% of that can be moved for hair transplants in your lifetime, assuming you are mid-point on the bell curve for Asian hair numbers. Assuming that you have an average hair weight (not fine), then there should be 5000 grafts available during your lifetime. If your hair is coarse, then the numbers swing in your favor regardless of your total hair count. I have written articles on the use of SMP to extend the reach of a hair transplant for a fuller cover.
