How do you count the implanted hairs and how can I confirm this.

Njco74
As some of us just get one shot at the donor area I would like to understand how can I actually confirm that the number of hair promised to me and agreed is actually transplanted. Call me crazy but I have actually counted 1350 punches in front and 410 at the back and mine was supposed to be 6k hairs. According to my surgeon my hair yield was 2.5 ( if this is true) would I calculate 2.5 x the total number of punches which adds up to 4,400 hairs not 6000. Please correct me if I am wrong . Thanks
