Would 2800 grafts be enough to cover my scalp area with an FUE hair transplant? (Photo)

Question

My name is Branislav. I am 41 years old, currently in China. My hair loss is huge, however, with Finasteride and Minoxidil there have been some improvements. Last September, I went to one clinic (one of ghe top 10 in China), only to be rejected for HT, because my donor was too weak. I started using medications on December 21st last year. Few weeks ago, I went to another clinic and they told me they could extract 2800 grafts, fue. Is that enough to cover my scalp area? Thank you!

Hello ,thank you for sharing your story, it was better to send a picture from back of your hair for better evaluation but if the first clinic says the donor site is not good for hair transplant , extracting 2800 grafts with FUE method in one session may weaken donor site

Can you update donor area's photo so we can make an analysis for you? But it already seems that 2,800 grafts are not enough to cover it up and make full density.

Hi Branislav,
For your case 2800 grafts would not be enough to cover full head. Our assumption is you need 4000 grafts or more, and in order to see if it is possible to extract 4k grafts from your donor area, it should be analyzed first.
