Hair Restoration

Hair Restoration:

Well, one of the most common question  in Hair Transplant Surgery is How “Dense Packing” or “Density in Hair Transplant Surgery” is possible?

Naturally in one square centimeter of scalp has around 80 to 90 grafts, on an average it is considered to be 2 hair shafts or to be precise 1.8 hair shafts in one graft. So it comes to around 140 to 160 hair shafts in one square centimeter. Till we have around 30-40 grafts that means 80 hair shafts in one square centimeter it is not considered to be Bald.

When we perform Hair Transplant Surgery maximum what one can put in completely bald area  is around 40 to 45 grafts/ square centimeter.

If one try to put more then 40 – 45 grafts in one square centimeter then Skin Necrosis is common problem. Which can damage Hair Grafts & results comes opposite then what we expect.  Some times to put more number of grafts lot of people implants hair grafts in perpendicular directions & not natural hair growth direction which is 30 to 45 degree angulations to SCALP skin.  So best Density is 40 to 45 grafts in one square centimeter. Which is called as dense packing.
