I have strong thick thick donor hair and am at a Norwood 3 stage where temples are high and thinning on top. I have been estimated from 2,500 - 3,000 grafts before a personal consultation. I was wondering how many procedures down the line as I more than likely to lose more hair in my life? I have heard some people get 2 -3 fue procedures ?

Answer: Grafts from the safe zone 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.

Answer: Depends on Several Factors 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.
