I am planning to undergo hair transplant. I have consulted a doctor in Delhi (India). He has suggested that I will require 3500 grafts. He says he will perform the hair transplant from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM. My concern is: Can he place 3500 grafts in one session in one session or is he just cheating me?

Dear Dr., I had a hair transplant (840 3-4 follicular grafts) in February of 2009. The areas treated were the large crown and also throughout the temporal areas. I still do not see a drastic difference. I am not sure why. I am continuously also using Rogaine foam and Propecia. When under any bright lights, I see such thinning as to where the transplant...
If you undergo an FUE hair transplant procedure before FUT strip, is your total availability of grafts decreased? For example, if I had 6,000 grafts available via strip, and I undergo a 2,000 graft FUE surgery, would I still have the 4,000 left (via strip or FUE) if necessary?
