Crown growth? The front line is looking amazing, but crown does not look like nothing is happening.

Question

I am 4 months post Fue transplant. The frint line is looking amazing, but crown does not look like nothing is happening. I know is too early, but I have also been reading that crown may take longer to start growing

David Deutsch, MD · Answer

For unknown reasons growth in the crown often is delayed from the front.Also,usually more grafts are placed in the front and thus become more noticeable sooner.It is very early in the process-be patient and give it a full year.

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.  It may be a matter of how many grafts you received on the crown.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Be patient as the crown will eventually catch up to the front. It is not unusual to see one part of the scalp grow faster than another part
