I've read that during a hair transplant; the survival rate of follicles or grafts is Greater if transplantation to the recipient area is Sooner. My question is basically; How long (Hours) can grafts still survive while waiting for All to be transplanted. This is in reference to FUT (Strip) method of hair transplant.

Answer: Graft survival 8hrs is a good rule of thumb. That is certainly within the framework of a grafting procedure, even if it takes all day. The more critical factor is to ensure that the grafts are kept hydrated. If they dry out, they won't last long at all!

Answer: Graft survival out of the body There is a classic study that show that if the grafts are left out of the body for less than 8 hours with proper cooling and hydration, the survival rate will be very high. For each hour extended, the graft survival reduces by 1% which means that if you put them back 24 hours later, only 76% will survive
