NW6 patient requested 20-25 thousand grafts from sides and back transplanted to top with FUE. Not concerned about scarring AT ALL, possible to achieve? Okay with over harvesting and completely understood the results and had decided to shave & tattoo those areas with graphic images. *Question: possible to ACTUALLY implement? not theoretically! Any limitations? (size of needle? ANYTHING that wouldn't allow this to happen??!?!)** 20- 25 thousand grafts, area: 15cmx25cm. (front and top and crown)
Answer: 25,000 graft harvest from your scalp is not possible Realistically, even if it was possible, why would you spend well over $100,000 for surgery (to have hair) and want to shave your head afterwards to spend more money to cover the FUE scars with SMP? 25,000 graft harvest from your scalp is not possible or realistic. You need to talk with your doctor and have basic understanding of what is possible and have realistic goals.

Answer: Maximum number of grafts The number of grafts that can be harvested depends on the degree of hair loss and the donor availability. If you are a grade six on the Norwood scale of hair loss even if your density is good, your donor availability is limited. Therefore, I doubt that you have vailable donor for 20000 grafts. You need a to consult with a hair loss specialist in person for an evaluation.

Answer: Good luck Without going into mathematical detail, what you seeking is not really possible. If you want this much hair coverage and to look good and shave your head later in life, get a high quality custom made hairpiece.

Answer: What is the maximum number of grafts for a Class 6 pattern? The absolute number of grafts is the wrong question, but I will try to answer it anyway. There is a safe number of grafts that can be harvested and it depends upon your donor density. Assuming that you are a Caucasian with an average total hair count of 100,000 hairs on your head, the donor area safely has 20,000 hairs or 10,000 follicular units which can be removed with FUE. That would, of course, remove all of the donor hair without leaving anything behind, so at most 1/2 to 2/3rds of these follicular units might be harvested. The higher numbers might cause vascular compromise so 7,000 FUEs are risky. Safely 5,000 is not unreasonable for a Class 6 pattern patients with normal weight hair to get reasonable coverage.
