Post operative questions specific to your surgery can be best answered by your doctor.  Your doctor would have the exact number of hairs and grafts that was used for surgery.  In general, each graft may contain 1, 2, 3 or sometimes 4 hairs.

Sean Behnam, MD · Answer

Probably around 9000 hairs. Each graft can have anywhere from 1-4 hairs each, with the average at about 2.1, but this of course varies widely between different doctors. If you contact your doctor they should be able to provide the record that will show exactly how many hairs there are.

Anne Kremer, MD · Answer

Photos would be a good starting point. Patients get confused by clinics who just give a large number at assessment, but fail to deliver on the actual surgery day. It maybe that you have received 4,400 hairs which would equate to 1200-2000 actual grafts.

Matt Tahsini, MD · Answer

Thank you for posting your question. You can get an idea of how many hairs you received by contacting the clinic. Each graft contains a single hair and we have seen up to 8 hairs in a single graft. Depending on the percentage of your singles, doubles and triples, that can be anywhere from 7000 to 9000 plus hairs if not more depending on your percentages. Hope this helps.

A Follicular Unit is a natural grouping of hairs that consists of 1-5 hairs.  However the average is about 2 hairs per follicular unit.
