Hair transplant FUE 1600 grafts

bugsbugsMar 26, 2016
I had a FUE hair transplant 2 months ago. 1600 grafts. I was balding from the crown. Now my original hair is growing back very very thin. The doctor instead of concentrating on the bald spot focused more on the hair line saying the bald spot would be covered with a comb over. I haven't been out since the surgery because I am concious. will I look like attest what I used to look like ?

Dear chinos316Thanks for the question. Typically, it's best to avoid consuming alcoholic beverages for at least 48 hours after surgery. Even if you do consume alcohol, be sure to go easy. I wish you all the best.

If you have an infection, you need to be under the care of a doctor (in person), not on the Internet. Follow your doctor's recommendation and their antibiotic of choice.

If your hair length is under 1mm, your FUE scar will likely be visible. FUE is not a scar-less surgery.This is a misconceptiop.
