Graft Quality From Different Areas of Scalp

I am a 48 year old male who has had 3 procedures: 800,800, 2000. I was told that by the 1st doctor that the same donor area would be used over again for the 2nd procedure. For the 3rd procedure I went to another Doctor who told me that the quality of the grafts is better if they used another location. slightly higher than the first. I would like at least one more procedure and would like to know if I need another donor area or can one of the old areas work as well. Also is there any benifit to having a hair analysis done. Thank you for your time.

Some doctors take the hair from the high neck rather than the mid posterior scalp. This view is misguided because using the high neck has problems, including:

1. it is not permanent hair
2. it tends to scar
3. it does not tolerate much taken from it without severe scarring that is difficult or impossible to cover up

I always take the donor area from the middle of the donor area (the 3 1/2 inch high band around the side and back of the head) as that is where the best hair is. I call this area the sweet spot, because it is highly productive for good quality hair. I continue to harvest the same area, at the same scar in subsequent surgeries, when they are needed. This gives me the ability to reduce any scarring, if it should occur. Since you are in my area, I would be pleased to give you another opinion, at no charge, and I will analyze your hair at the same time.
