After a year and 3 months of Neograft surgery, when I get a small buzz cut I can clearly see a rectangle where the grafts extracted. Also after this period, I don't see any progress with the transplant very few hairs have grown and it's very thin besides my original hair is thinning as well.

Answer: One Year Post-Op NeoGraft There are only two options for disguising the donor area- growing out your hair longer or getting scalp micropigmentation. Our experience with the NeoGraft machine is that the suction can damage the tissue, leading to poor growth. Many plastic and cosmetic surgeons are not aware of this, and they purchase the NeoGraft (and ARTAS) systems for a new revenue stream, without having any experience with hair transplants.

Answer: NeoGraft Results Thank you for your question and posting your picture. To begin with, it sounds as though you are not on a good hair preservation program. Hair loss should be stabilized before undergoing a hair transplant procedure. All hair transplant candidates should be started on a program to block the effects of DHT. In addition, minoxidil, low level laser therapy, and scalp PRP injections can be helpful for stabilizing hair loss. Second, a good hair and scalp analysis with a magnifying scope is very helpful at assessing your grafts. Hair grafts are characteristically coarser than the native hair. If your grafts are present, they should be easily identifiable with a scope.I encourage you to return to your transplant surgeon for follow-up and evaluation. If you are not happy with the results of that follow-up, you should consider seeking a second opinion.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.
