Does this FUE look like 2000 graft and was it space out correctly for a high density result? (photo)

Question

I was told I was going to be getting 2000 or more if they were available, but it doesnt look like I had 2000 graft? Is there anybody that I can go to and fund out how many I really got?? And if this procedure looks correctly done???

The spacing of the grafts looks too sparse to give cosmetic density.  Not sure if 2000 grafts were used or not, but for the area covered it appears about 1000 grafts.

Hello,Density is one of the most critical factors after hair transplantation.  Early on you may not be able to fully determine your density.  Density depends on various factors including the number of hairs  per cm squared, the thickness and vibrancy of hair, direction and design of hair.  Techniques for density vary from surgeon to surgeon.  In my office, we utilize a specialized technique that allows for optimizing density and found it to be helpful.  
Best,
Dr. Anil Shah

If you trusted your doctor to perform the surgery, you should trust that you should get great results. If you believe your doctor cheated you, then discuss your concerns with your doctor.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

To find out how many grafts, you should ask your doctor for a copy of the surgical record which will have the number of grafts and the number of hairs that were in each graft. If you do not trust your surgeon that is another matter. Bonding with your surgeon is critical BEFORE the transplant gets done. Your lack of trust makes this a foregone conclusion.

I am an expert witness for legal entities and this question comes up all the time.  The problem is that it is very VERY difficult to figure out an accurate count after the fact.  In all surgeries, you will see some scalp through the hair, too.  Having excellent pre and post-op photos is the first step to get an answer to your question, and checking with your doctor to get the records is probably your next best step to knowing your count.
Good luck!
