A package quote is set before anyone examines the donor area, which means the graft number is a product decision rather than a clinical one. The part that is hardest to price is month three and month nine, when something needs adjusting and the person who planned the case is on another continent. We see those consults. We are not interested in naming anyone, only in the arithmetic.

Graft count is what an examination produces. It follows from the size of the area being covered, the density and caliber of the donor supply, and where the pattern is likely to go over the next twenty years. A number offered before anyone has looked at a scalp is a price, not a plan. That is the whole mechanism.

Surgery moves hair that is already there. It does nothing for the native hair around it, which continues on whatever course it was already on. That is why the medical conversation, including the risks and the reasons a patient might decline, comes before any surgical planning. Some people choose not to. That choice changes the surgical plan rather than ending it.

Round punches four millimeters across, twenty hairs to a plug, placed in rows. That was the technique, and it is the picture almost everyone still has. Follicular unit work replaced it in the mid nineties. A graft today is one to four hairs, the way hair actually grows out of a scalp.

Exosome preparations are being marketed locally for hair loss. There is no FDA approval for that indication, and the published evidence is not at a standard that would let us tell a patient what to expect. Meridian does not offer it. That is not a claim that it will never work. It is a statement about what we are willing to charge for today.

There is no legal requirement for specialty training in hair restoration. The American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery is a voluntary certification with a case log requirement, a written examination and an oral examination. It is not a guarantee of anything. It is a record that somebody chose to be examined.

Simone Okafor runs medical therapy, trichoscopy and the majority of female evaluations. Surgery happens once. Medical management is measured in years, which means most patients spend far more time with her than with the surgeon. That is the intended structure, not an accident of scheduling.

Several apps now return a graft estimate from a phone photo, and patients arrive with the screenshot. What the software measures is visible hair density in a two-dimensional image under uncontrolled lighting. What a plan needs is donor density, hair caliber and pattern trajectory, none of which are in that photograph.
