Hello everyone, Is the current hair growth rate normal ? The procedure was done out of the country in Colombia and I'm soon to return to the country to see my doctor for a check up. In light of this event I thought it would be great to ask for a professional second opinion. I have attached photos of my current state of growth, after the procedure and also before. Thank you very much for your professional input I look forward to hearing your advise!
Answer: I would expect to see better results by now While you still can expect to see more hair growth over the next few month, I would expect to see more results by 7.5 months. If you look at the ARTAS before and after page, you can see the first pic is one of my patients just 6 months after his procedure. The reason you may be experience less results could be from a variety of factors from graft handling, graft harvesting, and out of body time. Also, judging from your graft placement, I personally like to pack the hairline density quite a bit tighter than what was shown in your pics. The good news is that grafts are growing, and you seem to have good hair otherwise, so if needed a touch up procedure by a qualified ARTAS center of clinical excellence should help you get the results you desire. Best of luck. Dr. Rome

Answer: Decreased growth after donor harvesting with ARTAS FUEXcision Generally speaking, in my opinion, hair transplant surgery includes 5-6 critical steps and each step is important for a successful results. You have almost 8 months PO and should have 75-80%, the hair growth that I see in the photos is not normal, the new hair is sparse with implantation issues too. Poor or decreased hair growth after hair transplantation could be related to too many factors such as: low quality hair grafts, high transected grafts, long surgery hours, shallow recipient sites, etc. Also there are other issues in the recipient area. I will suggest you to ask for a 2nd opinion of hair loss specialist (Drs. Matt Leavitt or Eugene Rodillo) in Orlando before heading to Colombia for your follow-up. Good luck.
