I Am A 27 Year Old Indian Male and Had 5,700 Hairs Transplanted. Am I Over-Harvested?
For a typical Indian, assuming that you actually had 5,700 hairs, which would extrapolate to ~3900 grafts, this would be considered over-harvested. The average “Indian” hair density has an original hair population of about 80,000 hairs. The photos confirm your suspicion of over-harvesting. The maximum FUE for a typical Indian should be limited to about 3,000 grafts or 4,700 hairs with another possible 3000 grafts or 4700 hairs performed with a strip surgery to prevent donor area depletion.
