Sometime patients cannot afford large numbers of grafts or repeated hair transplantation surgeries in order to restore their hair loss or to repair a hair transplant that had poor results. It may also be that the patient lacked an abundant amount of donor hair supply due to its depletion from previous hair surgeries. However, a low number of follicles can still be used to restore a significant level of baldness, and only a skilled hair restoration surgeon would know how to create a natural look in this situation.
