A 3000-graft hair transplant can restore about 6,000 to 9,000 individual hairs because each follicular unit may contain more than one strand. This approach often suits moderate-to-advanced loss, including Norwood stages 3 to 5, but coverage depends on donor supply, hair type, scalp area, and density goals.
The procedure usually takes a full surgical day, typically 6 to 8 hours, and U.S. pricing can range from $4,500 to $15,000 or more, depending on location, technique, and physician involvement.
