If you are concerned please follow up with your doctor for an exam. This may or may NOT be normal. Sometimes there are red bumps from ingrown hairs.

If you have itchy scalp that is causing you to scratch your head during sleep try to reduce the source of the itchy scalp such as adding hair fiber and sticky sprays.  You can also discuss this with your doctor.

If you are concerned please follow up with your doctor for an exam. This may or may NOT be normal. You may have had graft loss after surgery. In addition, not all the grafts may have taken (failed grafts).

Generally, single hairs are used for the hairline while doubles or triples are used behind the hairline. If you are dissatisfied with your results, a second surgery may be an option to correct the hairline.Keep in mind that it may take 6 to 12 months to see the results of a hair transplant...

FUE is a method of harvesting hair follicles. It has nothing to do with the end result. FUE surgery just means you will have thousands of "DOT" scars instead of a "LINE" scar from the FUSS (Strip) surgery. FUE RESULTS ultimately will depend on all the factors as well as the doctor's aesthetic...

Your donor area will always look "thinner" proportionate to the number of hairs taken out after a FUE harvesting surgery.  The hairs will NOT grow back from the donor area (where it was taken). If it all goes to plan the donor hairs will grow in the area it was transplanted.
