Grafts per cm2 for good coverage?

[vinnytr]

Generally speaking, if you achieve 50% of your original native density, you should be able to achieve the illusion of coverage which may or may not appear dense. That will really depend on your hair characteristics and the degree of coarseness being the most deciding factor.

It also depends on how much exisitng hair is still in the recipient area unless your question is referring to starting with a completely bald surface area.

I am not looking for a super dense coverage , i am 36 and want to look 36 with hair not an 18 year old with j.bieber hair .

I also heard in some HT cases the existing hairs in the recipient area might get damaged during the HT and never come back again .

Any ideas what sort of look 35grafts per cm^2 would achieve ?

Is it true that anything over 50grafts per cm^2 wont make a major difference to the coverage you get ?

THIS IS COMPLETE BULLSHIT.

Make sure you have realistic expectations.

HT surgeons are not magicians. 50% of your original density will look like 50% of your original density. Depending on your characteristics (this is the most important part for a transplant). eg wavy/curly hair, hair to skin colour and how you plan on styling your hair is what you MAY get away with.

Also the hair in your donor is courser then your original hairline hair so it will never look truly natural. Especially when it is transplanted with larger gaps between hairs as in the case of 35 or 50%. A natural hairline (non transplanted) with no balding has fine hairs stacked very close together up front not thick hairs with 1mm or even bigger gaps in between.

Also beard hairs are even courser then your donor and will look like shit in the hairline or temples. If it is a last resort put them further back on your head if/when needed.

Make sure you look at real transplants in person not pictures or videos as they are misleading. So you know what to really expect. Look at people with similar hair/skin characteristics to you.

Personally from experience Dont do it. Get on meds if you have not already to help keep what you have to hopefully Histogen or something else is released. Maybe even Dr Gho ( the science is there but im not 100% convinced). Hopefully Dr Cole investigates it further.

Obviously change the ## to ai.

These are mostly real people posting there own results. But still be careful as some people still like to post the best pictures they can to make there result look the great. The right lighting, pictures taken in darkish room, right angles, pictures taken from distance etc

Just had a consultation with Dr Lupanzula. His summary said Donor density : 90/90/90 follicular units per cm2 (density measured in 3 areas).what does this mean and is it good bad average?
