Hair transplant graft calculator
The HAIR TRANSPLANT GRAFT CALCULATOR is now live on our website. After two decades of facilitating transplants across Turkey, Spain, Hungary, Portugal and more, we have distilled the most reliable numbers into a simple online tool. It shows the graft density and result range that can be achieved safely, helping you set realistic expectations for the outcome you want.
Many patients over‑estimate the number of grafts needed for a satisfactory look. Over‑promising can lead to multiple sessions, higher costs, and results that fall short of expectations. By using the hair transplant graft calculator, you get a data‑driven baseline that reflects:
- Implementation density the number of grafts per cm² that the scalp can tolerate without compromising blood flow.
- Technique‑specific limits each method (FUE, DHI, BHT, etc.) has its own extraction efficiency.
- Potential for medical adjuncts treatments that can increase hair‑shaft diameter and improve visual density.
Having these numbers upfront lets you discuss realistic goals with the surgeon during your consultation. Remember, the final plan is always tailored after a physical examination.
Implementation density is a key driver of the visual result. A higher density can make the hair look fuller, but it must stay within safe physiological limits. In addition to graft numbers, medical treatments such as platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) or low‑level laser therapy can boost hair‑shaft diameter, enhancing the overall appearance without increasing graft count. These adjuncts are discussed with your surgeon and may be incorporated into the treatment plan.
Each technique has its own efficiency and typical result range:
| Technique | Typical graft yield (average donor) | Starting price |
|---|---|---|
| FUE | 2 500–3 500 grafts | from €1 100 |
| DHI | 2 300–3 200 grafts (higher implantation density) | from €1 600 |
| FUT | 3 000–4 000 grafts (strip method) | from €3 050 |
| BHT Body Hair | 500–1 200 grafts (depends on body hair density) | from €2 290 |
| AFRO FUE | 2 000–2 800 grafts (curly hair requires special tools) | from €1 600 |
| SMP (Scalp Micro Pigmentation) | Not a graft procedure, but covers up to 80 % visual density | from €700 |
If the calculator shows that the donor area cannot provide enough grafts for your desired density, it will suggest complementary options such as SMP or medical adjuncts to achieve the look you want.
Start by visiting the hair transplant graft calculator on our website. Follow the step by step guide and note the suggested graft count and implementation density. Then:
- Compare prices our catalogue shows the cheapest starting rates per technique across several countries. For example, FUE is cheapest in Turkey and Spain at €1 100, while FUT is only available in Turkey and Hungary starting at €3 050.
- Check travel logistics many patients combine the transplant with a short stay in the destination city. Use the Turkey clinics page to explore accredited centres.

The final decision always rests with the surgeon after a thorough examination. The calculator simply empowers you with a grounded understanding of what is physiologically possible and how medical treatments can enhance the result.
- Book a video consultation our partner surgeons will review your results and discuss any special considerations (e.g., scar revision, previous grafts, adjunct treatments).
- Plan the procedure decide on the technique that best fits your donor capacity, desired density and budget. The surgeon may adjust the graft count based on real‑time assessment.
- Arrange travel and recovery most clinics provide accommodation packages. Recovery time varies: FUE patients often resume light activities after 3‑5 days, while FUT may need up to 10 days.
Frequently asked questions
Is the graft calculator a substitute for a medical examination?
No. It provides an estimate based on average data. Your surgeon will confirm the exact numbers after an in‑person or video consultation.
Can I get more grafts than the calculator shows?
The calculator reflects physiological limits. Extracting more grafts than safely possible can cause permanent thinning. Alternative options like SMP or medical adjuncts may be recommended.
Does the calculator consider medical treatments that boost hair diameter?
The tool highlights the role of adjunct treatments (e.g., PRP, low‑level laser) that can increase hair‑shaft thickness and improve visual density. These are discussed with your surgeon.
How accurate is the price information?
Prices are taken from our current partner‑clinic catalogue and are shown as from €X. Final cost may vary depending on the exact number of grafts and any additional services.
Can I use the calculator for eyebrow or beard transplants?
No. The tool is centered on the scalp area.
What if I have a previous hair transplant?
you can the the current density as it looks. Werther it's because of a previous transplant or your remaining natural hair does not change anything .
