8 months 1 week post-op, FUE, hair transplant? How realistic is achieving a good frontal coverage at this point? (Photos)

April 17, 2017
Asked By:fuepatient212 in Gainesville, FL

There is a large gap between the old hairline and new hairline and the crown hasn't exactly grown in either. There is some growth in the new hair line, but little or no growth between the old and new. Is this a case of no blood supply? Could PRP sessions help to get some growth going as this looks extremely unnatural at this point? Is there anything I can do at all besides dermarolling and minoxidil? I had 1500 grafts in the front and 500 grafts in the crown.

Answer: At 8 months post-op it is still relatively early in the growth process and it should improve for up to 12-15 months.
