2000 graft FUE (Photo)

Question

Hi.. I went thru hair transplant by FUE method 8-10 days back.. I was suggested 2000 grafts by the doc.. however after the procedure when I am looking the pics, I can't make out whether I have been implanted the no of grafts I was charged for.. also... I feel the density in the mid scalp region is not adequate.. for frontal line also, is the transplant okay. From what I have seen online of the HT pics, the density of HT should be high... plz advise.. I have attached the pics

It is not a good start when you don't trust your doctor after the surgery.  You can have someone count 2000 individual scabs.

I think you have that much (2000 or more) graft on your head .You will satisfy with result but may need a second session for more density

Congrats on your procedure.  This question really depends on your before photos.  The area of coverage you show on the pictures is roughly about 77cm2.  Typically 4000-5000 grafts are necessary for that region to achieve a moderate to higher density.  The number of grafts implanted on your scalp appears to be roughly about 2000 grafts and if you had moderate density prior to the procedure, you should expect good results assuming the yield of your procedure is high.  If you started with a lower density, you will need subsequent procedures to achieve the density, even with a high yield.

It seems to be a common
question. There seems to be a failure of trust between doctors and patients.
Every doctor has a surgical record and should have a count sheet. The count
sheet is a written, legal record where the total number of grafts, one hair,
two hairs, three hairs and four hair grafts are counted and recorded. These
records should be available to you. I routinely show then to our patients so
that they understand the distribution of the grafts that were harvested.
