25% ? (Hair Transplant)

» This is the first time I have heard about this 25% rule. Do other doctors
» have the same experience?

Most clinics have their own acceptable range for harvesting. Some are more conservative, others more aggressive. 25% is not necessarily the maximum you can possibly harvest, but a general guide to help prevent over harvesting.

Also note that this rule is generalized and based only on follicular density. It does not take into consideration the number of hairs per follicular unit, thickness, curl, or overall coverage. It also does not include any changes/distortions in follicular density or geometry due to previous hair transplant. There are variations in each individual that can affect your donor availability.

It is up to the doctor to rely on his/her good judgement and experience to take these other factors into consideration when planning the surgery with the patient.

It would be a good idea to discuss this with your doctor beforehand if your donor availability is of concern. Find out how much they intend to harvest and why.
