It looks like you had a hair transplant surgery a few weeks ago.  If you are concerned about the progress it is best to see your doctor for a check up.

It may take 6 to 12 months to see results after surgery. If you are concerned it is best to see your doctor for a follow up exam.

In general transected follicles do not grow back.  You have to assume the worst case when you prepare for surgery.

If the first surgery was a failure, you must understand why it failed before considering another surgery.  Sometimes it may have been just "bad luck" or an unknown cause.  These are things you need to discuss with your doctor.

If you are having issues 13 months after surgery, it is best to contact your doctor.  It is not normal to have redness and buring sensation.

You can have Scalp MicroPigmentation and have FUE later on.  Or you can have FUE now and have SMP later on.  SMP will not damage our hair.
