One of the most common and important questions that most patients have, especially when it comes to a life-altering hair transplant surgery, is the number of grafts required to achieve the best results. Well, while there is no predetermined answer to this question, there are quite a few factors that can be kept in mind to come up to the final number. At Twachaa by Saraswat, the best hair transplant clinic in Faridabad, the experts follow a thorough hair and scalp analysis route to determine the count and streamline the treatment.
Before you even start thinking of undergoing hair transplant surgery, you need to know what hair grafts are. So, hair typically grows in groups, where the number of strands in each group depends on the person and his/her hormones. Now, these hair groups are known as grafts, and the individual hairs are known as strands.
In a hair transplant surgical procedure, the hair grafts are extracted from the donor area (healthy site on the scalp resistant to DHT that causes hair loss in the first place, typically the back or sides) and then implanted to the thinning or balding recipient area. This surgery can be performed in two techniques – FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), where a strip of scalp containing healthy hair grafts is extracted and FUE (Follicular Unit Excision), where the individual grafts are directly extracted.
The number of grafts required for the FUT procedure would depend on the length, width, and density of the follicles in the donor area. The same for the FUE procedure, on the other hand, depends upon the density in the density in the donor area of the candidate. For a few patients, however, the donor area on the scalp might not be sufficient to get the best results, and the experts might also opt for different techniques to fulfil the requirements.
To determine the number of grafts one might require for the surgery to cover the recipient area, the doctor takes a look at a few factors (in a thorough hair and scalp Trichoscopic Analysis) that include:

I have been suffering from balding for a long time now and considering a hair transplant as an option, but it is so hard to get genuine information about the surgery online. I could not just jump into it without knowing about the procedure in detail. That is when I came across this blog which explained how many grafts a person may require for a hair transplant, describing the factors that determine the number of grafts in a surgery. I have also booked an appointment with Dr Saraswat to consult on the subject more.
