Answer: Hair transplant during recovery from a Facelift
Hello and thank you for your question. I wish you would have provided a photo so I can better assess your issue. I think it's best if you see your doctor in order to better understand what's going on. Some blood tests would be a good place to start. Best of luck to you.

Hello, and thank you for your question. Generally speaking, leaving scabs on your scalp one-month post-transplant is not recommended. Doing so can interfere with your healing. Removing scabs typically prevents damage to the newly transplanted hair and aids growth. Best of luck to you.

Hello and thank you for your question. Six months post op you should be patient. I realize that is difficult because you want to see the results but please be patient. You should start seeing some growth but realistically it usually takes at least 12 maybe 18 months. Hang in there.
