How many grafts would I need? (photo)

The number of grafts depends upon the thickness of your hair in the donor area.  For simplification, lets assume that fine hair is 30 microns thick, medium weight hair is 50 microns thick and coarse hair in 70 microns thick.  If you have one of these thicknesses, then this is what it might take in grafts:

• Fine Weight hair: 3000 grafts
• Medium Weight hair: 2500 grafts
• Coarse Weight Hair:  2000 grafts

Of course, these numbers might go up or down slightly based upon my examination of you, your lifetime donor supply and my assessment of the likelihood of more future balding and to what degree your badling may take.  I must be careful of leaving ou with enough hair to completely address future balding.
