It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.  It probably has nothing to do with wearing hats.

Hair transplant to scar tissue work but the growth may not be as full as normal tissue.  Fat injections will not help.

It is normal to lose transplanted hairs weeks after surgery.  It may take 6 to 12 months to see new hairs grow out.If your hair didn't fall out the way you thought it should or you have red spots, you should contact your doctor for a follow up exam.
