I had a question. One thing I have read a few times is "donor density". Does this mean that every patient has a different number of grafts that can be harvested? Or, does every person have roughly the same number of grafts that can be harvested? Is there an average perhaps?

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, every patient has a different number of grafts that can be harvested. The results achieved will not only depend on the surgeons skills but will also depend on the 1) the number of grafts (and #of 1,2,3, 4 hair grafts) as well as 2) the hair characteristics (e.g. fine vs coarse, straight vs curly). One of the aims of the consultation process is to give the patient an understanding of what they can expect.

I like this approach. Knowing what to expect takes away some of the trepidation. My biggest concern is the donor scar. This man looks excellent!
