Recipient Site Density is a critical factor in hair restoration, referring to the number of hair grafts implanted per square centimeter in the recipient area. Achieving the right density is essential for creating natural coverage and ensuring the aesthetic success of the procedure.
Surgeons carefully plan the density based on the patient’s hair characteristics, such as shaft thickness and texture, as well as the area being treated. Higher densities are often targeted for the hairline, where detail and natural appearance are paramount, while the crown may require less density for seamless blending.
Advanced techniques, such as dense packing, enable surgeons to achieve high-density results in areas of aesthetic importance. Precision in graft placement ensures even distribution, avoiding gaps or clusters that could compromise the natural look.
Patients benefit from a well-executed density plan, which enhances the realism and longevity of the restored hair. This focus on density contributes significantly to the overall satisfaction and success of hair transplant procedures.
