How many Grafts are Needed for a Hair Transplant?


Hair loss is a common problem and most of the patients visit the Marmm Klinik for hair transplant in Indore. In this clinic, premier treatment for hair loss is available. Usually, the patients ask so many questions regarding the hair loss and its treatment and the knowledge about the donor site is often a considerable factor.

As you know, during the surgery, the surgeon uses your own hairs that grow on the back and sides of the head. These hairs are baldness resistant and grow forever after the hair transplant surgery. The sides and back of the scalp are called donor areas since the surgeons are supposed to remove the hairs from the same areas. The bald area that needs the cover of hair is called the recipient area.
While the patient and surgeon aspire to have optimal results after the surgery, the total number of required hair graft is an important factor. Every patients have different conditions of scalp and donor area and the final decision is made by the surgeon after full checkup of the scalp and donor hairs.
The pattern of genetic baldness is necessary to consider in the process of deciding the exact number of hairs to cover the bald area.
The Norwood scale is used to judge the progression of male pattern baldness that is described below.

First stage:

At this stage, there is no change of hairline and it looks completely natural.

Second stage:

This is the first time you observe a receding hairline that is slightly above the normal place on the forehead. However, the pattern is not clear and only a keen observant would observe the changes.

Stage 3:

At this stage, most hair loss is observed on the temple areas and makes an “M” shape on the crown of the head. Now, the occurrence of male pattern baldness is quite obvious.

Stage 4:

The hair loss is severe on the temple areas to widen the bald region on the scalp. At this phase, hair loss on the crown area is also visible.

Stage 5:

This is the beginning of severe hair loss. A thin layer separates the hair loss on the temple area and the hair loss on the crown area.

Stage 6:

At this stage, hair is completely lost from the crown area. A large bald area including temple and crown area forms a horseshoe shape.

Stage 7:

This stage leaves a thin layer on the backside on the scalp.
Now let us discuss the main topic

How Does the Number of Hair Decide?

It is obvious that the required number of hair grafts depends on the stage of hair loss and your goals of the surgery. The surgeon is going to assess your baldness with the help of some checkups and only then, he may tell you the exact number of hair grafts. The number of hair depends on the thickness and density of the donor's hairs as well. Moreover, it depends on the area the surgeon wants to restore.
If you are interested in the hair transplant in Indore and want instant professional guidance, visiting the Marmm Klinik would not disappoint you and you may expect a pleasant end of the treatment process.
