I have a facial liposuction and buccal fat removal surgery scheduled two months after my FUE hair transplant. Will this affect my hair growth and recovery? Thank you so much.

Answer: Face liposuction and buccal fat pad removal post FUE hair transplant
It is difficult to determine if more growth is coming without doing a detailed exam of your scalp. Hair transplants generally take 12-15 months for final results. I recommend talking with the surgeon who performed your transplant and discuss your concerns. If we can be of any help, let us know.
Hello, and thank you for your question. I must admit I've never heard of such a thing before. I'm sure this is very unnerving and annoying. Since you've already seen a dermatologist with no luck, I suggest finding a more specialized doctor. I wish you luck.

You can consider scalp micropigmentation to the donor area to add the appearance of darkness and minimize contrast. You should also continue taking effective hair loss medications so that you do not continue to lose more hair.
