So, you’re ready to get a hair transplant. Good call! Hair transplants have proven to help both men and women regrow lost hair and fill out balding spots. They have been well-studied and have shown to offer fantastic results for most types of pattern baldness. However, you may be wondering if 1000 hair grafts are enough to meet your hair restoration needs.
Additionally, you may have further questions about the procedure. Is this enough to cover patchy areas and fill in thinning hair? Can I get away with a small number of grafts? Is it worth spending the money on additional grafts? These are all important questions to ask and they must be discussed with your hair transplant physician.
About Hair Transplants
During a hair transplant, hair grafts are collected from the donor portion of a patient’s head. This is done using one of two methods. Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT), or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). Depending on which method your doctor recommends, you will either have grafts pulled directly from your head. Conversely, you may have a full skin strip removed and the skin on the back of your head stitched back together.
If you’re hoping to remove only 1000 hair grafts, you would likely be receiving an FUE transplant. This can be a more cost-effective procedure as there are a very low number of follicles to be removed. However, any more than this and your costs may mirror the pricing of a FUT procedure where you may receive an additional 1500 grafts or more. Ultimately, your hair transplant surgeon will be able to tell you if 1000 hair grafts will be enough for you.
Is 1000 Hair Grafts Enough?
Depending on the severity of your hair loss, 1000 hair grafts may be enough to fill in patchy or thinning areas on your scalp. There is a possibility that this may be enough for your particular situation. However, we’ve found that 1000 hair grafts usually won’t be enough to give you the results you’re hoping to achieve. Additionally, the cost of such a low number of graft removal may be close to the cost of transplanting a much greater amount of grafts. In other words, by spending a little bit more, you may be able to see much fuller, thicker hair.
1000 hair grafts will usually work well for a man or woman who has just started to notice or experience balding. In other words, receiving 1000 hair grafts would be best if you have just recently started seeing hair loss. Additionally, receiving 1000 hair grafts may work well for someone with a slowly-receding hairline that has yet to progress past a certain point.
We can say with confidence that more than 1000 hair grafts will likely be recommended to restore your hair. This is because most people don’t seek out hair transplantation until hair loss has progressed to a certain point. You may have tried topical medications like Minoxidil or ingestible medications like Finasteride. While these may have helped, time may have passed. As a result, you may not have seen the results you were looking for and hair loss has progressed further. In the end, only your hair transplant doctor will be able to help you decide if 1000 hair grafts will help solve your hair loss issues.
