I’ve had a FUE HT for my hairline but grafts are not densely packed. Is it still possible for me to get good density? (Photo)

mr933Jul 31, 2018
I have had a hairline FUE hair transplant few days ago and the grafts are quite spread out. I suffer from no hair loss and my hair is quite thick, I only wanted to lower my hairline by 2cm. During consultation my doctor had mentioned that I will require 4000 hairs and that he will use 1300 Hair grafts. Apparently most hairs will be 3/4 as he uses a larger blade compared to other clinics.My question is would I still achieve good density?

After 48 days, your grafts are secure and you do not have to worry about losing grafts. If you are concerned, it is best to contact your surgeon for post surgery issues and care since all doctors have slightly different instructions.

If you are considering surgery, it is best to have a consultation with a doctor in person.   You can certainly change your hairline but you would need an examination and understanding of possible future hair thinning/ hair loss. You may want to see other patients in person to see what is real an...

If the injury was severe enough to cause a burn to your skin and scalp it may have damaged your grafts.  Otherwise, you are probably safe.
