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.
it depends on the baldness level i think. Because when i had my hair transplant i implanted 2500 grafts which has given me a head full of hair.
