(FUE) Can I expect considerably more growth and thickening after month 8?

April 26, 2019
Asked By:Fierce8492 in New London, CT

I had a hair transplant (FUE) almost 8 months ago. I would grade it 6.5 (out of 10), as I can still see a clear difference between the new and old hair -see photo-. I was wondering, can I expect considerably more growth and thickening after month 8? What I have read online its that from month 8 the change is minimal.

3 months post-op. Can I wear a tight-neck t-shirt? Will it pull on or damage grafts?
Tayfun Oguzoglu, MD says:

At this stage, there is no problem about what you wear on. The very first 10 days of post-procedure is crucial, until the grafts are anchored to the skin. Later, you can wear anything you would like.
