By my photos can anyone give me an approximate amount of grafts that were implanted on my head? (Photos)

Question

Had a FUE two days ago now and paid for a 3000 graft / 9000 hair transplant. 9000 hairs seems a lot to me and I was under the impression it would cover the whole of the top of my scalp, however the Dr suggested that it would be best to make the hair line thicker at the front in order to give the impression of more hair. I have attached two photos but I'm not sure if this is really 3000 grafts? Can anyone give me an idea of how many grafts they think has been transplanted from the photos? Thanks

It would be best to ask for your surgical report.  9000 hairs seem very high for one surgery.  Photos cannot determine this number.

It is impossible to tell from the photos. 9,000 hairs from 3,000 grafts would mean every graft transplanted on average had 3 hairs in it, which is highly unlikely.

You should ask your doctor for a copy of the surgical record which will have the number of grafts and the number of hairs that were in each grafts.

Number of grafts transplanted cannot be exactly made from this picture. Yes their are two different area s of density.
