What's the recovery time for 3000 grafts?
Recovery follows a similar timeline to smaller procedures but the donor area takes slightly longer to heal. Initial recovery: 10-14 days. Return to work: 7-10 days. The larger area means more scabbing initially. Full results visible at 12-18 months.
Is 3000 grafts enough for full head coverage?
3000 grafts provides excellent coverage for most patients with Norwood 4-5 hair loss. For very advanced hair loss (Norwood 6-7), you may need 4000-5000+ grafts. Your surgeon will assess your specific needs during consultation.
