Question

Had 4500 grafts sugery in april. Completing almost 7 months but density is not enough. From front, it looks fine but from top density is too low.

Hello Peaceful210294, thank you for your question regarding having undergone 4500 hair graft transplantation seven months ago and still having a hair density issue on the top of your head.  If the density bothers you, I would suggest several PRP injections.  If the PRP injections do not get you the optimal hair growth density results, then I would suggest more hair transplants.  For your hair transplant revision, I would suggest the follicular unit extraction technique (FUE). During FUE, single hairs are harvested and transplanted.   I hope that I have answered your question regarding hair density issue on the top of your head seven months after hair transplantation.  Thank you.  Sincerely, Dr. J. Timothy Katzen, MD.

First of all, I think it's important to understand that it takes about one year for full results to be evaluated. But I also warn all my patients that we will never be able to achieve the degree of density in the transplanted area that you have in your native hair. Often times, patients will have a second procedure in order to improve density. This is often more successful after the first procedure has had a chance to heal fully. I hope this helps.

Are you using other prescription treatments or laser cap?  Have you had any PRP sessions after your transplant?
