How AI Is Changing Hair Transplant Planning
Surgeons used to estimate graft counts by eye. Now there are tools that can do the math from a photo. Here is what that means for patients.
For decades, graft estimation was done by eye. A surgeon would look at your scalp, mentally map the thinning areas, and give you a number. Some were great at it. Some were not. Either way, the patient had no way to verify.
What has changed
Computer vision can now read a set of photos and identify thinning zones, measure donor density, and estimate a graft count -- all before you step into a clinic. It is not a replacement for an in-person consultation, but it gives you a solid starting point.

When you walk into a clinic with an AI estimate, you have a baseline to compare against the surgeon assessment. If the numbers are wildly different, you can ask why. That conversation alone is worth having.
The limits
AI works from photos. It cannot feel your scalp, check your donor elasticity, or assess miniaturization under a microscope. Think of it as the first step, not the final word.
