Will more hairs grow in eyebrow than the number of grafts placed?

Question

Eyebrow transplant

Anil R. Shah, MD · Answer

The number of hairs a single graft can contain is 1-4, So the number of grafts placed does not equal the number of hairs you will see. Hope this is helpful.

Said Sadiki, MD · Answer

Hello. You need to be clear about the difference between the concept of graft and follicle. A hair follicle is a unit that is extracted from the donor area, which can have 2-4 grafts/hair. If the eyebrow transplant is done with a DHI procedure, all these follicles are implanted as they are, which means that all those grafts grow in groups of 2-4, all in different directions. This might lead to a bushy look of the brow. In LOFT procedure, the one I personally perform, all grafts are separated and implanted one by one. This gives a more natural result and avoids the possibility of many hairs growing from the same root and in different directions.

Hello I'm Dr. Wipawan Vathananai, a co-worker of Dr. Kulakarn Amonpattana, from BHI Clinic, Bangkok, Thailand. Normally, the growth rate of transplanted hair harvested by FUE is around 90-95%, depending on the surgeon's skills and graft handling during the procedure. It would be rare that there will be more hairs growing than the number of grafts placed after the transplant.
