Hi I'm from Asian. I just had a FUT surgery, and i only had about 2000 grafts transplanted. i was expecting much more than that. At first My doctor told me that i would be happy with the result. then after the surgery i only saw my front head had transplanted graft but not the top. so i was a bit upset. The doctor told me that because the strip'' donor area'' only has about 2000 grafts. please help ! thanks
