Hair Transplant

How many grafts are needed for a receding hairline?

Concise answer

There is no reliable graft number without measuring the planned area and examining donor density, hair calibre, curl, colour contrast and existing hair. A lower hairline usually requires more donor supply.

Graft planning begins with long-term design and coverage priorities rather than a package size advertised online.

Two people with a similar-looking recession may need different plans because their hair characteristics and future loss risk differ.

When evaluation may help

An in-person donor and recipient assessment is needed before a surgeon can discuss a responsible range and whether surgery is suitable.
