I'm 5 months post FUE with 3,200 grafts, and I have a lot of gaps. Is it normal? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. You are experiencing great regrowth for the 5 month post-op mark, and should continue to experience regrowth up until the 12 month post-op mark. I suggest that you keep your board certified facial plastic surgeon up-to-date as to your recovery.Best wishes,

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

You had not lost all of your hair at the time of your procedure.  Therefore, sometimes the grafts are not placed in areas where you already have good coverage.  In other words, there were gaps in the placement of the grafts.  However, it is still a little early to worry.  I would wait until the 1 year mark.  You may have had some thinning of your existing hair prior to the transplant due to shock loss, as well.  In addition, pre-existing hair is prone to fall out at some point and your existing hair may have simply come the milestone in life where it was genetically programed to senesce and miniaturize.  Still, wait until the 1 year mark, which is the point to judge the procedure anytime you graft into pre-existing hair.  

It is still early to worry about the performance of your surgery. 3-5 months you will see something better I believe.

Hello, thank you for posting your question. You are still at only 5 months post procedure. Give yourself a few more months, and pretty sure the zones should get denser. at 6 months, you shold expect roughly around 50% growth. This will only double in the next 6 months or so. Give it some time, and re-address it in an about 3 to 4 months down. Thank you again.

Hello jaberi.At 5 months, you are really only seeing 45% of the results, so more hair will come through and the hair that is through will mature and become a thicker hair. Usually around 8-9 months it will look better.Best of lucks and be a little patient with your hair as it is still developing.WY

İt is very hard to assess the result without examine your before op. pictures.But after 5 months that operation appearence is quite good and your hair job would make you happy. Dont forget that hair will be thicken by time and your gaps get smaller and smaller in a few months, you could get final result 12-14 months after surgery.

All of the hair has not grown in yet, so be patient and wait another 3 months to see 80% of the growth. Then you will have a rough idea of what you are getting
