I have had two hair surgery, one in 2016 and one in 2017. The first time was to restore hairline and the second was to add density, I believe with 800 graft. By doing research and using a online calculator that evaluate my situation, looks like I need an average 4000 grafts to cover from the hairline to the Occipital line. I hear that I would need a two day operations for that. Is that achievable? Or is 4000 not suggested in a 2 days surgery? Should I do 2000 one year and 2000 the next?

Answer: 4000 Grafts Hello, Thank you for your question. To have the hair transplant surgery with 4000 grafts you will need to pick the right place, experienced surgeon with experienced team. You should also keep in your mind that this is big amount and you already had surgery before, there might be possibility that with only FUE your donor area might be over-harvested. I suggest you have physical/ online consultation with experts, and check all the options. I have operated patients with over 4000 grafts in one single day, and had patients who were suitable for Combined Surgeries only, the combination of FUT & FUE together.

Answer: 2 day session Hello and thank you for your question. Yes you can have 4000 grafts done in 2 consecutive days. This is the preferred way in my practice. That being said, you must be sure you have a robust donor area as to not deplete it or make it very thin.Best of luck to you.Dr. T
