I am approaching the 3 months mark post Artas robotic (FUE) hair transplant. Should I see more growth?

D
db70Dec 30, 2014

Had 2,400 grafts in Oct to crown, temples and forelock. Healing exceptionally well: most grafts did not shed, recipient area redness is gone, donor area was undetectable within 10 days. At 1 month follow-up, surgeon stated I was healing better than anyone he had seen. Had 3 month today and he said the same. Have had acne in the recipient areas. Haven't noticed much in the way of growth yet. The grafts that did not shed grew slightly in the first month, but not since. Should I be concerned?

The amount of hair that can be transplanted depends on several factors and varies from person to person.  The area of the head that is used to harvest the follicles is the back and the sides.  These areas do not lose hair in typical androgenetic alopecia.  Thus the size of a...
