Hit on the head. Would it do any damage to the transplanted area if it happened 30+ days after the surgery?

The stubble you feel may be old transplanted hair that never fell out.  Like a thorn in your scalp, except it is hair.  You can have a friend find one of these tiny spiky hair and try to gently tug on it.  If it is the old transplanted hair, it will slide right out.  ...

It doesn't look like 8000 hairs but photos can be deceiving.  You need to take better care of your scalp and hair.  Follow up with your doctor for a good hair wash.  Some doctors can do it for you at their office.

Transplanted hairs usually grow after 6 to 12 months.  Some lucky individuals will see full results sooner.

It is always good idea to check with your doctor.  The Internet will give you conflicting information.  At 6 months, you can use whatever hair product you want.

If you have a hair transplant surgery it can help but it may be full enough when you shave the area.  You may need more than one surgery.  If you are not going to grow a beard and want a close shave, Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) can help. A combination of both would be ideal.

Neograft is just an instrument used to take out the hair grafts using the FUE technique.  It is not a type of surgery.You will lose your transplanted hair as well as some of your native hair weeks after surgery. You may look worse before it starts to look better. It may take 6 to 12 months...
