The most important aspect of any hair transplant treatment is knowing how many hair grafts will be needed for the procedure. During the consultation, your surgeon will carefully examine your hair loss and state how many grafts will suffice for the treatments. The number of grafts you need will depend on how severe your condition is. Frontal hair loss may require just 2,500 grafts, while more extreme cases may call for 3,000 grafts or more. Hair health may also influence the number of grafts needed. Your surgeon will extract your hair as grafts. Each graft contains about 1 to 4 strands of hair, depending on how thick/healthy the individual’s hair is. So for someone with healthy hair, 2000 grafts may suffice for an operation, while 2500 grafts may be extracted for not-so-healthy hair.
