There is often an argument presented that high density may not be possible with blood flow to the grafts.
We find after routinely doing surgeries at 70-100 grafts /cm², there is no issue with blood flow. The scalp is a very vascular (high blood flow) area. Normal hair is supported at a very high density with the same blood flow. So why should grafts have an issue with blood flow?
However, the procedure normally done at many clinics of doing lower density in an area (30-40 grafts/cm²) is a problem when the patient is not happy with the growth, comes back and redoes the area a year later.
When an area gets operated on once, the tissue forms a tough texture with toughness of the skin and this does cause a blood flow problem on the second surgery.
Therefore, it is better to do a high density transplant the first time in a 'virginal' scalp area, than come back repeatedly to the same area. Blood flow is the best the first time around, not when the tissue is manipulated on two or three times. This is why we feel it is best to offer our patients the maximum or high densities the first time around.
Our average surgeries are in the 70-100 grafts/cm², with a few exceptional surgeries, in special cases of Hollywood stars or others where we do go higher up to 150 grafts/cm².
