5000 grafts hair transplant is one of the toughest procedures to perform and is called a marathon session. Surgery of this volume can be tiring for both surgeons and patients so many clinics are unequipped to perform a 5000 graft transplant. Hair transplants of 3000 grafts or more are known as mega sessions since they take several hours to complete.
Some researchers argue that hair transplant mega sessions are less effective than smaller sessions. However, skilled and experienced surgeons have created fantastic results with high graft numbers. In this Adgrohair Blog, we will cover:
Who needs a 5000 grafts hair transplant?
It’s very rare to have a 5000 graft hair transplant. According to the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons, only 1% of first hair transplant surgeries require a 4000 graft hair transplant or more. Men who are at stages 6-7 of the Norwood Scale or women at stage 3 of the Ludwig Scale may need high graft volume hair transplants, depending on their hair density. But most people with male pattern baldness or female pattern hair loss decide to do something about their hair loss a long time before they reach this stage. Getting your hair loss checked out early can reduce the number of hair grafts you need. Your ability to have a 5000 graft hair transplant procedure will depend on the availability of hair in your donor area. If you’re at or approaching total baldness, you may not have enough hair follicles to get a good result.
Whether Percutaneous FUE or FUT is better for a transplant mega session?
A lot of Surgeons prefer a combination of FUE and FUT when mega sessions need to be done. But in Adgrohair the advanced method of Percutaneous FUE can be performed in 2-3 sessions to cover the entire scalp with 5000 grafts preferably having sufficient donor capacity.
The hair transplant costs and coverage of a 5,000 graft surgery
At Adgrohair Clinic, our hair transplant mega sessions we perform 2-3 sessions of Percutaneous FUE to ensure strong follicle survival and create successful hair transplant results. Dividing it into 2-3 sessions results in optimum graft survival and shock loss-free graft extraction and implants. In 2-3 sessions we will be able to cover from the hairline to the crown region with decent density to cover the entire scalp with naturally growing non-maintenance hair. As Adgrohair is a value-based company hair transplant costs start from 1 lac onwards and 5000 grafts will cost up to 1.6 lacs.
