Question

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

It is always best to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to help you properly estimate the number of grafts needed based on areas you wish treated.  SmartGraft is a procedure that may be right for you.  This hair loss treatment transfers individual grafts from the donor site to the areas needed. It is performed under local anesthetic with minimal down time. Most patients report little to no pain. There are no incisions, no stitches, and no linear scar. Some results can be seen immediately with full results after nine months.

Hello.2600-2800 grafts would be enough to fully cover the front area and to restore the hairline. Sapphire FUE would be ideal for the procedure. You can consult with a local MD working in the field for a face to face consultation.

Mesut Tomo, MD · Answer

You are at Norwood 3A. The approximative graft number is between 3000-4000 to get full coverage by restoring your hairline and filling the vertex area.

Johnson C. Lee, MD · Answer

You do not appear to be a Norwood 5. Depending on the areas you are hoping to fill, the number of grafts my vary. Crown and temples can be up to 2500. You may need less if you are only doing certain areas. Hope this helps!
