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)

Question

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?

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative issues as you likely discussed the planning before surgery.

You would be better served to ask your physician about your specific concerns and ask to see before and after photos of patient's with similar problems to yours.

Thanks for the question. It is not unusual to experience
concern regarding the ultimate result of a recent hair transplant procedure.
However, it is important to be patient and allow the results to occur. It is
very likely, if you received 1300 grafts and approximately 4000 hairs, that you
will have a very good results when your new grafts are long enough to create
the appearance of hair density. Best of luck.

Hair transplantation results are best judged after the hair has had a chance to regrow. Getting to know your surgeon well, before surgery, by looking at the results they have produced in the past, their reputation for good care will all help prospective patients choose the right hair restoration doctor the first time. I know it may be difficult to wait for the results of your surgery but that will be best way to judge your final results.

Wait until these grafts have grown out and at about 8 months you can make a decision about more grafts
