    Shears,

    IMHO, there are three primary factors that affect the total visual result of a HT procedure regarding coverage. They are: 1) the FU per cm2 that was implanted throughout the surface area that was grafted. We can simply refer to this as the gain achieved in density per cm2. 2) The survival/yield result from the procedure. 3) The patients' own individual hair characteristics, primarily hair caliber and any added benefit from wave or curl.

    When the surface area grafted is increased but the graft count remains the same, the less density gained. But really, out of all of the factors, it is one's hair caliber that is the single most critical factor in attaining the illusion of coverage.
