Hi I recently had FUE in my crown area and at the front where I was receding, I am coming up to 4 weeks post op. The hair looks a lot more bald and thin then before I had the transplant, is this normal?

Answer: It takes 6 to 12 months to see growth after surgery. At 4 weeks you may look WORSE since you may also lose existing native hair
