Understanding Your Hair Transplant: Graft Counts, Recovery, and Long-Term Results
How Many Grafts Will I Need?
The number of grafts required for your hair transplant is highly individualized. Factors we consider include:
- Extent of your hair loss
- Desired density and coverage
- Quality and characteristics of your donor hair
- Long-term hair loss progression
At MAXIM, we provide a thorough assessment to determine the optimal graft count for natural-looking, sustainable results.
Recovery Time: What to Expect
Recovery timelines can vary based on the chosen procedure:
- FUT: Initial healing typically takes 7-10 days, with full recovery over several weeks
- FUE: Most patients return to normal activities within a few days
Our Sarasota team provides comprehensive post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery process.
Long-Term Results and Maintenance
MAXIM hair transplants offer long-lasting results. Transplanted hair is resistant to further loss, providing enduring improvements in density and coverage. However, it's important to note:
- Existing non-transplanted hair may continue to thin over time
- Some clients benefit from follow-up treatments to maintain desired fullness
- We offer ongoing maintenance plans to protect your investment in your appearance
