How many grafts do you estimate I will need for FUE or FUT? (Photo)

October 24, 2017
Asked By:bucketsofberries in Vancouver, BC

I'm considering hair transplant surgery for a small area of baldness I have on my hairline due to traction alopecia. The area is 1 cm across and 1.5 cm deep. I read online that the average person has 200 follicles per cm^2 so is it fair to say I will have about 300 follicles transplanted? I'm just trying to estimate costs. Thanks for your help!
