Answer: 6000 Grafts While it is safe to harvest 6000 grafts in two consecutive days, there needs to be a careful examination of the donor area to see if it can support this amount of grafts. While we have extracted this amount of grafts in two days, it is the rare patient that has the donor supply to support this.

Answer: FUE To be quite honest, those are ridiculous numbers of grafts- unless he meant hairs, which would be around 2800 to 3000 grafts- still a rather large number, but likely to be safely performed.Typically I limit my FUE procedures to 2200 to 2400 grafts (4500 or so hairs), with the ability to always return for a second procedure in the future. These procedures this size will avoid the risk of damage to the donor area, and likely will improve the final results. I will however harvest beard and or chest hairs when appropriate at the same time as these scalp hairs to provide further coverage.
