I had almost 3,000 FUE grafts by a world class surgeon. He transplanted front and mid scalp. My hairline is more developed than mid scalp. Is this because doubles and triples were transplanted mid scalp and singles in front?

Answer: Growth rate and hairs per follicle The rate of growth shouldn't vary significantly based on the number of hairs per follicle. It will have more to do with the phase of each of those grafts. You could potentially see initial differences in growth rate in different areas, but those differences should be minimal over time. Good luck

Answer: Should single hair grafts grow faster than double and triple hair grafts? The major question is when did you have your transplant performed? Hair resumes growth at 3 months typically and continues in after that. In my experience there really are very few natural single hairs in an average or better donor area so we make them by splitting the 2s, 3s, 4s, etc. Splitting usually results in slower growth of the unnatural singles. Furthermore, the unnatural singles typically result in a lower yield than the natural 2s, 3s, 4s, etc. It may be that the density in the central area was higher and this impacted your circulation to the area. I'd have your doctor check it out and if the disparity continues, the result needs to be evaluated more closely. Again, the duration between now and the time of the transplant is of paramount importance in your history and evaluation. Photos also help. Still, it may be something unique to you so don't begin to panic.
