Hallo, i am 29 years old and need a hair transplant with about 2000 to 2500 Grafts. I attached some photos from my donor. The first pictures are with wet hair. My scalp skin skin is very bright and i have black hair. Do i have enough donor hair for the transplant? How many grafts could be extracted in total. I know i have to be checked by a doctor. Just a first tendency would be nice. 10 years ago i lost a bit of density in my donor , but i could stop it with propecia, which i am keep taking.

Answer: How many grafts can be extracted from my donor area? Thank you for the post. From judging from the photos attached, it looks like there shouldn't be any issues harvesting atleast 3000 to 3500 grafts, without making your donor region look any different. But now the real question is since we do not see any of the thinning areas of the scalp, recipient sites, the question becomes how many grafts are required. Thank you for posting your questions, hope this helps.

Answer: Hair transplant graft number First, I cannot see where you need the grafts placed. Assume it is in the front area but need photos of that area. Next, the question is not just a pure numbers question. The texture, diameter, follicular unit density , and color of your hair and scalp all come into play with regard to provide determination for number of grafts recommended for coverage of the bald scalp. The real question is 'what is the fewest numbers of grafts I can use for a transplant and still give me a great result ?’ The reason that is the real question is supply and demand - You have increasing demand and a limited suppluy for the rest of your life. In the end the number of grafts needed is only answered based on a personal consultation. The fact that you are on Propecia, especially at your age, is EXCELLENT, because ongoing hair loss is the major problem you face at this time. There are other good options for non surgical prevention of hair loss and maintenence as well.
