It’s been 1 month and 25 days since my FUT hair transplant. Are my results good? (Photo)

Question

I don’t wanna keep bugging my doctor but I’m paranoid my results aren’t looking great. I have thinning in some areas around the transplanted area? I originally got the transplant to cover my hair line lowering scar and to cover the thinning areas, it’s only been 56 days. Most of the hair has shedded, some hasn’t and doesn't look like it’s growing to me. Around my hair line looks thinner too. Are my results normal so far? And will my scar in the back be this thick and noticeable forever? Thank you!

Two months is too early to be able to determine the final results of the hair transplant. Are usually tell people that we don’t have a good idea about the success of the surgery until somewhere in the 3 to 6 months time frame. We don’t know the final results until about 18 months. The one concern about your hair, which I have, is this car. This car is definitely wider than normal. I recommend that you talk to your surgeon and find out what options are available.

Your best be is to wait until your next scheduled appointment to be evaluated by your hair surgeon. Then you will be more likely to be able to have a valid analysis of your situation. Your pictures look normal presently.

It is too early in recovery from your procedure to determine results for your FUE transplant. Shedding and some thinning in the grafted areas is common(especially in women who can have some "shock" loss of hair after a transplant).  It can take up to a year to see some results from your procedure.  As far as the scar from the donor site that is a wide scar and may need revision.

Ryan Welter, MD · Answer

2 months after surgery is a little bit early to judge things but from your pictures it does appear that you have some areas that might still be of concern.  You should follow up with your doctor and if you are still not satisfied you can seek another opinion  Your scar might fade over time but it will not likely shrink.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

If you are not happy with the results, seek out another opinion. The hairline looks straight, the wound in angled and the corners are not full so another opinion will help you know what to do
