78 days post op FUT hair transplant (2000 gratfs, 3500 hairs). Does this look normal? (Photo)

Question

Do things look normal? Should I worry? I am a member on a hair transplant forum, and I've been receiving some pretty mean and condescending feedback, saying that it's basically a fail transplant and that I will need correctional surgery further down the line. Are they right, or is it too early to judge, considering I haven't even reached month 3? They also mentioned that the hairs were transplanted in a strange fashion/direction. I can't help but worry, and expect the worst You have my thanks!

Don't jump from forum to forum trying to gain acceptance or to assuage your anxiety. See your doctor if you have issues.  You may not see results for 6 to 12 months.

Stefan Mark Szczerba, MD · Answer

Depending on the amount of additional intraoperative growth factors and other stimulatory agents used, a safer evaluation can be made at  6-9 months.  A visit with your physician may be in order to address your concerns.  Best wishes!!

I would agree with the other respondents.  It’s definitely way too early to tell.  You need to give it a full 9 months at
least.  So don’t panic, ignore your
fellow forum participants, and try to keep positive!

Good luck!

You may want to schedule a 3 month follow up with your hair transplant surgeon to express your concerns. You will not see your final results until 6-12 months.

If you are not getting a doctors opinion then you should always remember you are not getting a doctors opinion.  Many forums are owned or controlled by certain doctors so that is also something to consider i.e they do not all like each other.  Anyway, to answer your question, it is too early to tell.  You should be patient as it can take a year to see the results.
