Hello,Graft count is often artificially inflated. Time for hair to matriculate can take up to 18 months so time may be necessary for your hair to cycle. The use of rogaine and regenerative techniques can help your hair cycle faster and grow per anecdotal evidence. If there are still scalp coverage issues, discuss with your hair surgeon and determine any other steps and measures to help create scalp coverage. Best Dr. Anil Shah
If you have one single graft implanted and it has one single hair in the graft, then one single hair should grow.If the graft was damaged during surgery, NO hair will grow.
One single graft may give rise to 1, 2, 3, or 4 hairs depending upon the no. of hair present in that graft. If the grafts which is transplanted have single hair then single hair will grow and if it has 2 hair then 2 hairs will grow and likewise. One should understand that in all the best scenarios 100% graft may not grow.
A hair graft produces 1,2 or 3 hairs. "Follicular units" is the term given to the natural groupings of hairs in the scalp - and these follicular units contain 1-3 hairs. They generate 1-3 hairs
Of course the answer to that question should bee as many hairs that the graft contain, 1,2 3 or 4 hairs. If everything is done correctly, we expect 100% of the transplanted hair to grow but from a practical point of view, I generally expect over 90%, may be 99%. We never really can count the number accurately unless we did less than 10, then we would know for sure
There are two different ways to estimate the amount of hair needed. The golden standard by most doctors is per number of grafts or number of follicular units. The second way that some doctors use is the number of hairs transplanted, In each graft, there may be one, two or three hairs, and depending on the number of hair in each graft, they are used appropriately in the recipient area. However, it is also good to know how many hairs were transplaned. This way you can have an idea of the overall look after the hair grows in, keep in mind that 2000 grafts at one clinic may give a very different result at another clinic depending on what proportion of one, two, or three hair grafts was used. For example if 2000 grafts were all one hair units the total number of hairs would yield 2000 hairs. But let say with 2000 grafts, there was 500 ones, 500 twos and 1000 three hair units, in this case the total hair would be 4500 hairs. So it is important to know both the number of grafts and also the total number of hairs that was transplanted.
Thanks for the question. Based on your photos, the 4000-5000 grafts might be good option for you, but it would be wrong to say something for sure. You should see a board certified surgeon. You can then plan the process together and discuss the results. I wish you all the best.
Anything is possible and the abssence of blood is not an idicator.However, after 15 days the grafts should be secure.
It is difficult to say from the photo whether or not you lost follicles. At 10 days the follicles are generally pretty "stuck" into place. However, if you did lost a few that won't make a noticeable difference.
