What's causing uneven hair growth after hair transplant? (photos)

Tasteful688599Dec 26, 2023
I had FUE hair transplant surgery 5 months ago. Hair growth started by the end of the third month. However there is obvious difference between right side and left side in growth. The implant was done by 2 persons and I feel that the difference may be because bad technique of one of them as the difference is sharp. What I should do now? The doctor says that this difference is blood supply related.

Alcohol consumption should be avoided at least 48 hours before hair transplant in order to decrease the bleeding during the surgery. However, it's already 6 months after your transplant so everything should be okay. The critical stage has already passed. I hope you're happy with your new hair.
