A doctor offered me 8000 grafts in one session (about 12 hours of surgery)

A doctor offered me 8,000 FUE grafts in one session, about 12 hours of surgery. Is this reasonable and safe?

There are many problems with that large number of grafts including (1) the length of the surgery (2) the amount of time the grafts are out of the body and (3) the access to your head with the team placing the grafts. In addition, can the donor area support 8,000 FUE grafts without becoming bald? I don’t believe that I ever saw a patient that can support 8000 FUE grafts which means to me that if you go that route, you will have a see-through, possibly bald back of the head as most of the hair would have been removed there. Ask to meet other patients who had this same number of grafts in one session and see the results, not only in the donor area, but also in the recipient area as well, met their expectations. You might find that unless your density is more than twice the density of the average Caucasian, this will not be a safe procedure or a productive procedure in terms of a complication free hair transplant after the surgery.
