How many grafts does the average patient need for a hair transplant?

Hair transplant surgery is not about "how many grafts" you need, but about how a doctor can match your goals and expectations.  In general, an average person may have up to 8000 grafts available as their donor hair in their life time.

Thank you for your question.
The appropriate number of grafts for a hair restoration procedure will depend on the patients goals.  These goals include: desired density or fullness/thickness, areas hoping to be recreated or restored, and donor site density.
For your specific case, the best recommendation will require an in person consultation and exam.  Please be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is well experienced in these procedures.

It depends on the patient and his/her goals.  Goals such as density or fullness/thickness, areas hoping to be recreated or restored, and donor site density all play a big role. Furthermore, it is also complicated by patients' age, progression of hair loss, and previous transplant history all come into play. I would consult with a local hair transplant surgeon to discuss your case.
