Does a higher graft count in hair transplantation always mean a better result?
Short answer, not always.
It's easy to assume that more grafts = more density, but it doesn't really work like that in practice.
How those grafts are used matters just as much. Placement, angle, spacing, and even hair characteristics like thickness or curl can change how dense something actually looks.
There is also the donor side to think about. You're working with a limited supply, so using a high number in one session doesn't automatically mean a better long-term result.
In some cases, a more measured approach ends up looking more natural and holds up better over time.
So, graft count matters, but it's just one piece of the overall picture.
