I had 4400 grafts implanted; how many hairs does that convert too?

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.

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.

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.

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. 

There are several ways to pay for a hair transplant but most clinics will quote in terms of 'grafts'. A graft is usually made up of a follicular unit, or part of a follicular unit, but may also have more than one follicular unit. A follicular unit can have 1-5 hairs (or follicles). One of the advantages of FUE is that the larger groupings of hairs can be selected thus increasing the total number of hairs transplanted whereas with a Strip FUT procedure the ratio of follicular groupings is determined by the patient's donor characteristics.The only way to tell the total number of hairs you have had transplanted is if the number of follicles in each graft has been determined. Your hair transplant surgeon should be able to provide this information.

The easiest way to find this out would be to contact your clinic and find out how many singles, doubles and triples you received. Then you can find out exactly how many hairs. 

Assuming that the count is really 4400 grafts and you are a Caucasian with a typical hair density, this would amount of about 8000 hairs,
