Transplanted hair grows as long as normal non transplanted hair. If you see before and after photos of short hair, it is because they cut it short.

Hair count is certainly important, however, the handling and placement of grafts supersedes this. If you feel the need to count your extraction sites you may find a discrepancy as you will be unaware of your surgeon's transection rate (grafts that are extracted that are partially/not fully...
