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?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

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.

Himansu Shah, MD · Answer

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.

Ben Talei, MD · Answer

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.

Jai Bansal, MD · Answer

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.

Karl Hekimian, MD · Answer

At this time your grafts are just starting to grow.  It is much too early to draw conclusions on what your long-term growth or final results will be.  Give it a good 8-12 months, then go see your surgeon to review photos and discuss your results.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

At about this time or a month or two early or later, the new hair starts growing and continues at a rate of about 1/2 inch per month
