At 6 months my FUE has roughly 10% growth. Is this a bad sign?

Asked By:tressless in Bell Gardens, CA

Last autumn I had 1800 grafts implanted into my NW2 and NW1 area. At 6 months my results are very disappointing compared to what I'm seeing on the internet. This is not a case of someone having unrealistic expectations; it looks like I didn't even have a procedure. There are about 60 hairs where 900 grafts should be. Can anyone share accounts of patients having this poor growth at 6 months but exploding in growth later on? How realistic that is at this point? Thanks

Answer: It can take six to twelve month after a hair transplant surgery to see results. So at six months, it may be too early to judge
