Did I actually have 2800 grafts implanted? (Photo)

Question

Hi, I had a hair transplant a week ago via the fue method to re create my hairline. It was said that i had 2800 grafts implanted. However i fear its much less, i can count the hairs in some places and it generally looks spacey. I have attached pictures. What are your thoughts ? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for submitting your photos. Based on them you may not did the washing correct as the scabs are not fallen off. What we are expecting is that in between 10-12 days all the scabs have fallen off.
During the procedures all grafts will be counted by the nurse team and a medical report will be prepared. So all details about how many grafts and hairs were transplanted is stated in that report. The best is to ask for it and so you will see the details.

There is no way to tell if you really received the number of grafts from photos.  If you are concerned you can ask your doctor about your surgical chart.

Thank you for your question. It is difficult to estimate the number of grafts without an in-person examination. I suggest that you discuss with your board certified facial plastic surgeon as they will have both the medical records and the knowledge of your procedure. Best wishes,

There's no way to tell based off a picture how many grafts you've had placed, the only way to tell for sure is for you to ask your doctor about seeing your records. That should include a count of the number of grafts that they transplanted.

Parsa Mohebi, MD, FISHRS · Answer

It
looks like you have significant scabbing which indicates improper washing of the
transplanted areas. It is difficult to count the grafts at this point.  If you have any concerns about the number or
a patchy appearance you should see your surgeon. You should be coming up to
your 2 week appointment, I would definitely address it at that that time if not
sooner.
