Hair Transplant - Uneven Growth?

R
RmedJul 5, 2013

I had facial and neck hair transplant just over 3 weeks ago. As for my facial stubble - I am already so pleased with the results and I'm positive it will get better and better with time. The neck however - there is pretty much no result or hair at all.... Is it normal for two areas to grow at different paces ?

You can laser away hairs but it may still leave or expose underlying scar.  It is hard to go back to "normal" after a bad result.  You would need to understand what is possible and reset some of the goals. See several doctors and ask to meet or talk to others in your situation.

Silky hair is not a contraindication for surgery.  Everyone needs an examination first before they can consider surgery.  Everyone needs to have a specific goal and understanding of what is possible with a hair transplant surgery.  Everyone is different.

It is possible to have hair transplant surgery over a skin graft.  It has been done.  You would need an exam first (as always).  It would be helpful if the doctor you choose has had experience with similar cases.
