Had 850 grafts done to fill in my temples. Two consultations with different surgeons who both recommended the same so felt good about the amount. The expectation going into this was never a natural density but I’m afraid it’s going to be very thin. Looks sparse to me. Doctor and technician both have great experience; I trust they know what they’re doing. I’m hoping it’s just my nerves and that I don’t know what a good density post op should look like. Worried. It’s a long waiting game
Answer: Wait 6-12 months to see the results first. The success or results of a hair transplant surgery is not about "how many" or "the number of grafts".

Answer: Density of an initial hair transplant On an initial hair transplant you can hope to obtain 40 % density. After the hair grows out fully (at about one year), and if you are not satisfied you may always return for a second round to increase the density. Of course, hair shaft thickness, waviness of hair and hair to skin contrast also play a role in the appearance of fullness of ones transplanted hair.

Answer: Do I have enough density with 850 grafts? Density in the hairline should be about 40 to 50 grafts per cm squared, given average shaft diameter and average hairs per graft. Measure the area in square cm and multiply by 45. If the number of grafts comes out to about 800 or 900, then you should be fine. Based on the picture, I would say that you needed more like 1000 or 1200 grafts to create adequate density. You can always go back for more,Dr. Robert Jones
