How am I going to look after 2500 grafts? (Photo)

Question

I did a FUE HT 10 days ago and the could've harvested 2500 grafts from the donor area And they said you gonna like the results because you're thinning and not completely bald..any suggestions? I'll attach pics before HT

Tim Neavin, MD · Answer

I think your question is whether or not 2,500 grafts is enough to see a difference.  2,500 grafts is an average amount of follicles for a hair transplant.  It isn't enough to fill out the entire thinning region  However, if they are placed strategically you should certainly see a noticeable difference by one year.  Of course you may need more grafts to meet your expectations.  It's hard to know what you expect without a consultation.

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

You'll be 2500 grafts richer after a 2500 graft surgery but it will not fill out a bald head.  You need well over 5000 grafts to cover a bald head.  Even then, it will not look full with a short hair cut.  You must understand that you may not be bald now but you may be bald one day.

Ekrem Civas, MD, FISHRS · Answer

How you will look after surgery entirely depends on the skill of the doctor and good post op care. We cannot tell from your current pictures. You just need to wait for the results.

Jonathan Ballon, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

You may not be completely bald yet, but the photos show extensive hair loss. Whether or not you "like the results" will depend on your expectations and how much hair you continue to lose in the future. If you are not already taking measures to try to stop your hair loss, you should speak with your doctor.

Sheldon S. Kabaker, MD FACS (retired) · Answer

Your question does not make any sense at this time. You already had the operation and  will have to wait 6 to 8 months to see the results.
