How many grafts can be done in a single session?
The number of grafts depends on several factors. Your donor area will determine how many grafts are possible for you (how thick your hair is in the donor area), and the surgeon will determine how many grafts you need. You may think that you need 4000 grafts but your donor area may only supply 2700. Dr. Epstein has done 4500 grafts on a patient in a day, although the conditions (donor hair density and need) rarely allow this.

Why do some doctors tell patients that hair graft procedures of large numbers, say over 1500 grafts, are risky?

I remember, ten years ago, when some of us started performing procedures of 1000 grafts- called megasessions back then. Today, procedures of 2000, 3000, even more grafts can be safely (and are routinely) performed.
However, to properly perform these procedures, the surgeon needs to have a sufficiently large enough team of assistants capable of cutting these grafts and efficiently working with the surgeon to then place them. Having a team of 19 full-time assistants, some of whom have been with me 10 or more years, means that a 2400 grafts procedure, say, takes us 3-4 or so hours- well within the safe time zone that assures proper hair growth.
