Struggling to decide between two Hair Restoration Surgeons. The first is able to do about 3,100 grafts. The other is saying he can do 3,500 plus more. I would like to get more in a single procedure rather than less, but was wondering if the 3,500 grafts was too much. Is that suspicious or "not healthy". The second surgeon is twice the cost of the first but I'm struggling to decide here. Would you recommend against 3,500 plus in a single procedure? (I'm a Norwood III or IV)

Answer: Gigasession Hair Transpalnt Choosing a larger number of grafts has to do with two main factors:1. Your demand: How much hair you need2. Your supply: What is your density of hair and laxity (in strip procedures)If your supply is good you have to understand that your demand is not only determined by the bald area, but at time surgeon needs to fill the transitional areas that you will be going to lose hair in those areas. That is to make sure you keep a full head of hair for many years to come.You need to talk to your doctor and ask the reason for the number of grafts and try to get a good understanding of which area will be covered with what kind of density. Perfoming hair transplants with larger number of grafts (megsessions and gigasessions) are commonly done and recommended and there is no reason that we think the grafts may not take as good as when we transplant small number of grafts.
