So I had paid for 3000 hair graphs and paid in cash thus they gave me an extra 250 graphs. I was curious how one might now if they did in fact give all 3250 or maybe it was more like 2700 and they called it a day. The reason I ask is the procedure took all day from 9 am till 9 pm one session. It was done with the strip FUT method if I wanted i could have gotten the FUE same amount cost and graphs. But weighing out the success rate it seemed FUT was the way to go. Curious how does one know?

Answer: How do you know how many grafts have been done in a hair transplant procedure? The truth is that patients have to trust that the hair transplant surgeon has done what he/she has said they have done.Reputable clinics will have quality control systems in place that document the number of grafts cut by each technician in a Strip FUT case.In FUE cases the recording of graft harvesting attempts, graft retrieval rates, and graft transection rates is very variable but again it comes down to trusting the doctor that you got what you paid for.Clinics that offer discounts and financial incentives may be more likely to look at profit margins than those clinics where patient care and service quality are the primary objective.It is also important to understand the difference between the number of grafts and the number of hairs. It is possible to generate additional grafts to make up required promised numbers by splitting larger follicular units but this will not increase the number of hairs. In Strip FUT cases it is widely accepted that you will either get a few more or a few less than planned but in the former case this should not be so many that it causes an inferior aesthetic result. Generally, in FUE cases, you will get the number of grafts that were planned.

Answer: Number of Grafts is a Matter of Trust Hopefully you have a trusting relationship with your doctor and they deserve your trust. Growth and ultimate results are another matter. That was a long time for a procedure and should be okay if grafts were cared for properly. Graft survival will not diminish appreciably if they are properly cared for while outside the body. In addition, FUE only physicians, usually part-timers will say that FUE and FUT graft survival is the same, they are not. Graft survival with FUT exceeds FUE when performed by an expert. This is fact that is well known by members of the ISHRS (International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery). See link below as a reminder of how to find a well qualified physician.
