With FUT, how many strips can be taken on average from a strong donor area, and how many hairs/grafts can be taken from one individual in their lifetime?

Answer: Donor Hair Potential With FUT The donor hair potential in FUT varies significantly between patients, depending on scalp dimensions, skin laxity and donor density. The number of sessions can not be determined, because a smaller or larger strip may be chosen in each session. Assuming a close to maximum strip is removed each time, one may be able to get 2-3 strips before there isn't much to be taken from the same incision line. Some surgeons will take strips from separate incisions, but this causes significant donor damage and perhaps is a bit too aggressive, given the possibility of FUE after the skin laxity is all used.

Answer: Strip graft limitation I have done a few dozen patients who had strip surgeries with more than 10,000 grafts in men with high donor densities and extreme balding
