Hi Everyone
I'm seriously considering a procedure in the next few months, i've been considering for about a year and have met many surgeons. I have one question for which i've been receiving many answers. Is there a ballpark figure for number of grafts you can have done in a lifetime?
One surgeon suggested we go for 5000 in the first op and leave 2-3000 for a future op. I'm only 44 and I have no doubt there will be future loss that needs attention.
Another surgeon suggested that we only go for 3000 grafts in the first op as 5000 is the maximum in a lifetime.
I've got a really good donor region which is very densely packed, i also have very good skin laxity.
What do you guys think?
best wishes
