After 5 months fue surgery, i had a pretty good growth and i was really satisfied. But after sometime, instead of getting more density, i found that i was losing some and going backwards. now at the eight months mark, i feel i have lesser density than i had at 5 months. Is it because of minoxidil and finasteride and other products to lower dht that i use resulting in erratic growth phase of my fue transplanted hair? or is it something serious i should be concerned about? thanks
Answer: Hair transplants Thank you for your question and photos the number of grafts a patient will need depends on the thickness of their hair and the extent of their hair loss, which can be determined by the Norwood Scale below. During a hair transplant, grafts are usually removed from the ‘donor area’ located on the back of the scalp and relocated to a balding area. The back of the scalp makes a good extraction area due to the high volume of hair follicles that congregate within that region that are not affected by the balding process. Specialist surgeons will remove a small amount of tissue that can grow hair and relocate it to the desired area of the head without damaging them.

Answer: Shock loss Sometimes patients loses surrounding hair that is called shock loss. For this it usually takes time to grow back. I recommend that you schedule a post op with you surgeon to go over these concerns. If you are using Riga one or finasteride, I would continue until you talk to your surgeon.
