I had FUE procedure about 8 months from now. Little growth on Vertex Area (Photo)

Question

I had FUE procedure of 2500grafts 8 months ago. I can see some growth on the hairline. But there is little or no growth on the crown/vertex area where most of the grafts were placed. Im attaching one picture. I had these much hair before the procedure itself. Can see no difference after the procedure. Should i be worried??

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.  You may have lost your existing (original) hairs as new transplanted hairs grew out.

Christopher Varona, DO · Answer

Its difficult to tell from the pictures but you should at least see some fine shorter hairs growing in the grafted areas by now. Typically at 3-4 months the hairs will start to grow. Between 6-9 months you'll get a good idea of what it's shaping up to be. I would go in for a checkup with your surgeon and evaluate the progress so far.

Baubac Hayatdavoudi, MD · Answer

At 6 months you will be at only about 50% growth, at 12 months you will be at roughly 90% growth. Remain patient and continue to follow your doctors post op care instructions.

Karl Hekimian, MD · Answer

At eight months you should see significant growth.  Now would be a good time to visit your surgeon and review your preop photos.

David Perez-Meza, MD, FISHRS · Answer

It is difficult to evaluate your 8 months PO without the before photos. However you need to be patient for full result in the next  4-6 months. You have 70-80% of your result now.
