How many grafts would I need to cover just the crown area? (Photos)

Question

I'm happy with my hairline just wanted a little bit more coverage in the back.

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

You should see a doctor for an examination for a better recommendation.  You may need a few thousand grafts as your hair loss will likely get worse over time.

Greg Chernoff, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. The number of grafts depends on your hair thickness and density. Crown coverage ranges from 1500 to 3000 grafts on average. You should see a surgeon in person to obtain all the information required to help you make the best decision.Best wishes!

Matt Tahsini, MD · Answer

considering the density of your hair on  top of  the scalp and the color of your hair, I think with 2000-2200  grafts you will have  reasonable coverage. I highly recommend you to see a hair restoration surgeon in person for better evaluation.

Something this size could need 2000 graphs. But the best thing is to get a consult in person to make sure.

You should consult with a Surgeon for tailor made medical evaluation for your case . The pictures you provide are good but do not allow for a good estimate of grafts needed. You have to share your donor side as well . In my practice for this kind of balding I would prefer to combine FUT and FUE in order to cover larger portions of balding area in a single session All the best

If you had fine hair, then it would take 3000 grafts to cover the crown as I had done for myself. IF your hair is medium weight, possibly 2200 graft and if it were coarse, possibly 1800 grafts might do it.
