Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a 4000 graft hair transplant cost in NZ?

A 4000 graft hair transplant in New Zealand costs $32,000-$48,000 for FUE, $24,000-$40,000 for FUT, and $40,000-$60,000 for DHI in 2026. Large procedures like this often benefit from FUT's efficiency.

What can 4000 grafts cover?

4000 grafts covers extensive hair loss, typically Norwood scale 5-6. This includes: complete frontal zone plus crown, full coverage of the entire top of the scalp, or very high density in the front with moderate crown coverage. Provides approximately 8000-12000 hairs.

Can 4000 grafts be done in one session?

4000 grafts in one session is possible but challenging with FUE alone (10-12+ hours). Options include: 1) Mega-session FUE over 2 consecutive days, 2) FUT which can harvest 4000+ grafts efficiently, or 3) Combined FUT+FUE approach. Discuss with your surgeon.

Is 4000 grafts the maximum possible?

Most patients can safely donate 4000-6000 grafts depending on their donor hair density. Your surgeon will assess your donor area capacity during consultation. Some patients with excellent donor density can go up to 5000-6000 grafts.

What's the recovery time for 4000 grafts?

Recovery takes slightly longer due to the larger treated area. Initial recovery: 10-14 days. The donor area needs extra care. Return to work: 10-14 days recommended. Full results visible at 12-18 months.
