Graft Survival Rate is a key metric in hair restoration that indicates the percentage of transplanted hair follicles that successfully grow in the recipient area. This rate is a critical measure of the procedure’s effectiveness and the quality of the surgeon’s technique.
Several factors influence graft survival, including the extraction method, handling of follicles, and the health of the scalp. Advanced techniques like FUE and robotic-assisted extraction help preserve graft integrity, ensuring higher survival rates.
The placement of grafts is equally important, as proper spacing, angle, and depth promote integration with the surrounding tissue. Postoperative care, such as maintaining scalp hygiene and avoiding excessive strain, also plays a vital role in graft survival.
Patients can expect a graft survival rate of 85-95% with modern hair restoration techniques. This high success rate ensures natural and lasting results, providing patients with the confidence and satisfaction of a well-executed procedure.
