Asked By:jimss in Egypt, EG

I had my first hair transplant (FUE) 7 months ago with 5200 grafts which I feel low density. I am looking for 2nd transplant . Considering 5200 grafts were extracted from back of the scalp, how many more can be safely extracted to achieve density. Also, is it possible to use beard as donor area if the back of the scalp is insufficient
