Hair Transplant - Uneven Growth?

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 ?

Hair from other parts of the body like arms, chest, legs, pubic hair and beard hair has been used for hair transplant when a person runs out of good scalp donor hair. As I said, you should first use your scalp hair because it is better hair and grows for a longer period of time.

There are a number of options you have, of course, I would have to see you to make an actual recommendation. The three options could include (1) scalp micropigmentation (see below), (2) scalp expanders and (3) hair transplants
