13 weeks post FUT HT - is this an expected result? (photos)

Question

I underwent FUT on Jan 29/18 received 3600 grafts. Little over 3 months now and i have started to notice some tiny hair poking through but its not what the density i was hoping for as there are still lot of empty patches. Will the hair grow in these areas?

It may take 8-12 months before seeing the final results of your hair transplant surgery. If you are concerned with the density and shape, follow up with your surgeon for an exam.

Thank you for the question and photos. It normally takes 9-12 months to determine what your final results are. It is best to follow up with your board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

You are still in the very early stages. You will experience most of the regrowth 7-10 months after your procedure. At the end of year 1 you should see approximately 80% of what to expect. At 18 months you will see your full results.

As per the procedure it takes 9-12 months to see the results of the hair transplant surgery. So, hair will grow with the time

Ilker Apaydin, MD · Answer

I the first three month the transplanted grafts are producing new hair but those can be seen after the third month.They will come out of the skin slowly.This is why we always mention that 10-12 month is needed to see the final result.
