Indicative number of grafts0

The calculation is indicative and does not replace an individual assessment. The real number of grafts depends on the thickness of your hair, your donor capacity, the density you want and the surgeon's plan. Always obtain a concrete quotation after a consultation.

How many grafts each Norwood stage typically needs: a minimum to maximum range summed across the hairline, mid-scalp, crown and temples. Use the calculator above for your own areas.
