Why do some doctors tell patients that hair graft procedures of large numbers, say over 1500 grafts, are risky?

October 15, 2009 by Dr. Epstein

Why do some doctors tell patients that hair graft procedures of large numbers, say over 1500 grafts, are risky?

I remember, ten years ago, when some of us started performing procedures of 1000 grafts - called megasessions back then. Today, procedures of 2000, 3000, even more grafts can be safely (and are routinely) performed.

However, to properly perform these procedures, the surgeon needs to have a sufficiently large enough team of assistants capable of cutting these grafts and efficiently working with the surgeon to then place them. Having a team of 15 full-time assistants, some of whom have been with me 10 or more years, means that a 2400 grafts procedure, say, takes us 5 or so hours - well within the safe time zone that assures proper hair growth.
