How many FUE procedures could I get?

There is no particular limit on the number of actual separate FUE procedures you can have,rather the number of grafts that can be harvested.The average Caucasian donor area contains about 4000-6000 grafts.Above average donors can have up to 8000 or more grafts.It is very important to make sure that the grafts are taken from within the "safe donor zone" and that the area is not over harvested so that it appears thinned out.

If you are losing hair and want treatment options, it is best to see a doctor for a proper examination and diagnosis.  You can't think about how many surgeries you many need if you haven't even had one surgery.

Most donor areas from the posterior and lateral scalp can support 4000-5000 hairs.  So you could have 2-3 sessions as you spoke about.  It is important to harvest hairs evenly across the donor site so that you do not create thin patches.

The number of procedures is an irrelevant
number as it is the number of useable grafts extracted from the safe zone that
is important.  Within the safe zone the density of your
native hair dictates how many grafts may be removed without looking
overharvested.   On average 4000 to 6000 grafts
may be removed before the donor zone looks too thinned out.

Number of grafts depends on several factors. Typically for Norwood Stage 3 it is around 1500-1800 grafts. It's usually a good idea to be conservative with your hairline- the more conservative you are, the less grafts you'll require and the more donor grafts you'll have available in the future. This also depends on your age, family history of hair loss, width of your forehead, and your desired look. Norwood Stage 3 I am generally very conservative because at this point it is only a snapshot of your lifelong hair loss pattern- 3000 grafts seems like too much so early on.

If you are a norwood 3 case, only one session of FUE is enough for you .we perform 2-3 session of FUE for grade 5-7 norwood baldness. It is better to see your photos  in order to estimate how much graft do we need to cover area . .

The average person has between 7,000 - 10,000 grafts available.A great first step would be an online consultation. Often you can submit photos to top hair restoration surgeons for a complimentary evaluation and assessment. This should help lead you in the right direction. Having multiple consultations with different doctors will let you know your best options. 

You have a minimum of 5000 hairs available that can safely be harvested. You can possibly have up to 8000 hairs taht can safely be taken over time. Best thing is to get an assessment from a hair restoration specialist. Start with a 2000-2500 graft procedure to restore your frontal hairline and then keep the rest in your back pocket for later on. You can probably do another 2 FUE procedures later on. But the only way to know for sure is to get a proper assessment. 

In general, you can have 2 FUE procedures as harvesting becomes an issue after 2 procedures due to scarring from the extraction. Make sure that when you do have the procedure done that extraction is done from within the safe donor area. 

The average Caucaasian has about 6,000-7,000 grafts available; however that many FUE grafts might make your donor area look thin or bald.
