Senior Member Cant decide Posted February 13, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted February 13, 2013 Generally speaking, if a patient has reasonably good density in their frontal third already and it is basically all transplanted hair at about an average of 54 grafts/sq cm and they then add about 5-10 grafts/sq cm to the frontal third in a second procedure bringing the average to about 60-62, will this make a substantial enough difference in density to warrent the use of these grafts? If anyone reading this has taken this approach, I would love to hear from you.

Senior Member Davis91 Posted February 14, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted February 14, 2013 it depends on what grafts are used--big 3/4s? maybe then. u what if you need those good cover grafts for the crown or laterals? That is why getting a detailed plan and philosophy from your doc is key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted February 15, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted February 15, 2013 IMHO, after seeing literally thousands of examples of HTs over the past 34 years, it comes down to the quality of ones' hair and I am referring to the degree of caliber than anything else. In essence, the higher degree of hair shaft diameter, the better visual coverage which includes the overall appearance of density. With average to above level of hair caliber, anything over 50FU per cm2 is not going to make that much of a visual difference. As was mentioned, this is where donor management becomes far more critical than gaining higher densities.

Senior Member nativeremdies Posted February 15, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted February 15, 2013 "this is where donor management becomes far more critical than gaining higher densities." Sound advice. It's all these brilliant piece of info that get lost. This becomes really important if you continue to lose hair after your HT. What was one a shining example of modern miracle science, now looks like a deforestation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
