5 months ago I had a FUE transplant for my receeding hairline. Now new hair has started to come through, however my right side new hairs are only coming through on my hairline, leaving a very large space beind with very little/no growth. Does it look like enough grafts have been placed in the balding area as I thought there should have been a bit more consistent amount of growth evenly through my balding area. The hairline is coming through thick but behind that is not. Is this normal growth. Thanks.

Answer: It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results. If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor
Thank you for your question, after having an FUE Hair Transplant treatment,2 weeks later you can trim hair.Dying hair is okay after 3-4 months,but it is important to use a hair-dye that doesn't contain harsh chemicals , use a hair-dye that isn't ammonia-based.Also the scabs should be healed...
Transplanted hairs will grow the way it was placed. If it was placed in the wrong direction it is too late to change the direction. If you are concerned about this, follow up with your doctor.
Usually all you can do for now is take some painkillers- but talk to your doctor, a burning sensation isn't too unusual but it can be a sign of other issues. Your doctor may also be able to recommend you something to more effectively stop the discomfort.
