I'm sharing the detailed results of our patient whose interview we featured in our previous post. This patient underwent a mega session procedure with 7200 grafts, performed 16 months ago at our clinic.
When he first visited us, he mentioned that due to his intense work schedule, he could only dedicate time for a single procedure. Based on this, we opted for a mega session approach. But what exactly is a mega session? In our practice, we use the term "mega session" for procedures involving more than 5000 grafts. This is typically suitable for patients with extensive balding areas and strong donor capacity.
On a personal note: While mega sessions can be effective, I generally believe it's more efficient to divide such large graft counts into two separate sessions — ideally performing the second session at least 9 months after the first. However, not every patient’s circumstances allow for that, and in those cases, mega sessions are a valuable alternative.
Hair transplantation is a highly delicate and detail-oriented procedure ⚠️ From planning and graft extraction to preservation and implantation at the correct angle and direction — each step directly influences the graft survival rate, overall density, and natural appearance of the final result.
With mega sessions, these sensitivities are magnified. Treating a 6000+ graft procedure as if it were a standard session, without adapting the technique to the complexity, can easily result in failure. Always remember: a mega session means taking a big responsibility and managing high graft numbers with utmost precision.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our patient for not only trusting us with his procedure 🙏 but also for allowing us to share his journey and results with you — despite his busy professional life, he remained consistent in his follow-ups and care.
