Hair transplant 6 month progress. Is it a failure? (Photo)

Question

Had a 1.4k graft hair transplant along the temples currently been 6 months and 1 week to the day since my procedure and the hair growth is so far disappointing, I know I should wait 12 months before assessing if it is a failure or not but some sources I have read say that I should have have around 80% growth by now, which if you compare the post surgery to now photos it's clear I haven't had that. Am I just a slow responder? Or have the grafts not taken properly?

At six months you should be able to see some results from your transplant, though you are not yet at your final results.  I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your specialist.  More grafts may be necessary to give you desired results.

Hello,
6 months gives around 40-50% growth. To support the growth you can use supplements for the next 6 months, and get prp treatment every 2-3 months. Hair transplant result will be accurate after 12 months from the operation date.

Greetings thanks for your question,
1200 grafts can be too less for the front side, mostly i am recommending 2500 grafts for the front side.Normally after 6 months patients can see the results already, but till one year the baby grafts can still grow.

First regrowth should be observed on 3-3.5 months after surgery. Regrowing hair is thin, undersized and not bright untill 4-5 th months of hair transplant. İt's normal for new growing hair starting to get native characteristics, waviness, curl in first 6-7 months…This actually takes 10-13 months for hair to become full mature , as thick and bright  as native hair.
