I had a hair transplant 9 and a half months ago; results look very sparse. Is it worth waiting or going for a 2nd one? (Photos)

Dear bundlescom,
Thank you for writing in with your question. Most patients are concerned about the rate of hair growth. Some people get all of their results inside of 8 or 9 months. Many people will see their best results at 10-15 months. My advice to you is to talk to your doctor and see what they think. In all likelihood they’re going to tell you to wait until 15 months, but it’s good to keep a close relationship with your hair transplant surgeon. I hope this information is helpful to you.
Kind Regards,

It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results. In rare cases it can take over a year to see full results.

Nine
months is too soon to evaluate the outcome of a hair transplant.  It would be best to wait at least a year, or
even a year and a half, to fully evaluate the results since growth can be quite
variable. In regards to a second procedure, it would be best to wait the year
and a half to see the final result of your first procedure. The decision to
perform a second procedure (whether FUE or FUT) would be based upon your scalp
laxity, density and available donor area that would be determined during a
follow-up examination.
