What to expect 6 Months after Hair Transplant?
I had a hair transplant of 2600 grafts (FUE method) Nov/08. New hair started to grow around the 3rd month (Feb). I'm now almost at the 6th month(May) after surgery, but I'm not satisfied with the results.
While new hair has grown in the frontal area of my head, in the vertex area there has been no visible growth. The new hair in the frontal area (thick, slightly curly, and dark)does not provide good coverage and there are certain frontal areas with hardly any hair. What can I expect from this point on (6 month mark)?

Patience is your best ally at this time. The initial growth of hair will not be the same in all follicles. Wait at least another 3-4 months. If you're not satisfied, discuss this with your surgeon. You may have more transplants or consider flap surgery which provides much greater density.
