My results appear different under different lighting, is this normal and will it get better under sunlight? (Photos)

afsarali9930Jul 30, 2017
I had FUE of 3581 grafts 6 months ago. I see that results are different under different lights. Under low light it almost seems that I have full coverage. However, if light is directly reflected on my scalp, I see baldness or if I m under sunlight especially from front. I want to know would it always be like that or old it get better

Hair transplant surgery is not about "how many grafts" you need, but about how a doctor can match your goals and expectations.

You cannot diagnose your hair loss condition with a photos.  DUPA is diagnosed with a microscope examination.

It is very difficult to fix a bad hair transplant, cobble stoning, or scarring.  Scar removing gels will not likely help.  Unfortunately there is no clear solution to the scarring.

It is very difficult to fix a bad hair transplant or un-do a hair transplant.  If you are regretting this, it is important to contact your doctor.  You may be able to use laser to diminish the hair growth on your face (but that defeats the purpose of why you had the surgery in the first place).

If you are losing hair and want treatment options you should schedule a consultation with a doctor for the exact reason of possibly losing more hair in the future.  You need an examination and a face to face discussion of what to expect with the realistic results your doctor can provide.

Hair transplant surgery is not about "how many grafts" you need, but about how a doctor can match your goals and expectations.  You may look like a Norwood 3 but even with 2000 grafts you may not be happy because your "expectations" may not be realistic.
