I'm in my mid-30s and I have had two FUT transplants, of 1900 grafts and 4500 grafts to my hair and partial mid-scalp and 2000 in the crown. I still have hair, as I would be a vertex 3 if I had no surgeries. The doctor told me I have great donor density with good laxity that could probably yield another 4000+ plus grafts via FUT. My question is would it be realistic to expect any available donor hair to be left via FUE after 10500 FUT grafts?

Answer: Other donor options Hello, Here are some other options for when you run out of donor area grafts. Sometimes it is a good option to get hair from other areas. I personally like recurring to body or facial hair as a filler. Here is an example video of one of the cases I worked with facial hair.

Answer: Donor density and FUE supply There is no magic to calculating the donor supply of FUE grafts. First the original density is measured. Assuming that an average Caucasian has 100,000 hairs, that means that the total number of Folliclar Units in the donor area is 12,500 and assuming that a doctor can remove 60% of those follicular unit, that means that the total FUE supply is 7500 grafts. Anything more than that will make you look donor depleted. If you are Asian, middle eastern or African, your donor FUE supply will be significantly less than this number. I think that few doctors really understand this math.
