I had successful 3900 graft FUE transplant in September 2018. Do crown transplants take longer to grow?

If you are having issues after your surgery, the best person to ask is your surgeon who knows the specifics of your surgery.
Shock loss is always a risk and it is difficult to assess this on the Internet or with photos. You need a before and after comparison. You need an examination.

We normally see a delay in crown growth compared to the frontal forelock and hairline. We typically tell patients we do a 6 month follow up for the front and a one year follow up for the back.

Due to the position of the crown on scalp, its recovery is slower compared to front and the top.
This is mainly because of the lack of enough muscles, which help activity on skin. This causes slower nurturing on crown and therefore we recommend our patients to wait up to 18 months to see the final results on crown.

Hello, great question. For some reason the growth rate on the crown does sometimes grown more slowly than other areas. Add slow growth to the shock loss you experienced and I understand why you are frustrated. You need to be patient and you should see results happening little by little and by around 8 months you should see good progress. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Sometimes hair growth is slower in the crown, however in general the hair starts to grow in after four months and you should see most of hair growth between 6-9 months after the procedure.  So just be patient for a few more months.

Sometimes the crown is slower to grow. I would give it a few more months before worrying as it sometimes takes 8 months to get reasonably full growth
