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: Transplanted grafts may grow at a different rate. It does not matter if they are single hair or triple hair grafts. Transplanted grafts may grow at a different rate. It does not matter if they are single hair or triple hair grafts.

Answer: Graft Growth Probably a followup with your world class surgeon would be the best option vs an internet forum as none of us can examine your scalp and give you a correct evaluation in regards to your concern. However, all grafts whether 1 hair or 4 hair generally grow at the same rate based on the anagen phase/cycle of scalp hair.

Answer: Not really, but the hairline typically grows in ahead of the top How long ago was the transplant? If it is a new transplant (less than 6 months), then the likely cause of your observation is the difference in latency period (Time between when the grafts are placed and when they start growing ) that exists from one area of the head to the other. The hairline and temple points tend to grow out ahead of the other regions. It is not a matter of whether the hairs are singles, doubles or triples. The factors that can affect growth that may be indirectly related to types of grafts would include the robustness of the tissue around the grafts. More robust grafts would yield better. Also if grafts were split from their original groupings, they may not do as well as the grafts that were placed without splitting.

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.
