I had a receeding hairline and went for a 4000 graft FUE intervention. Everything seemed on track. I have now hit the 11 month mark and i feel that the hair looks fine indoors. On the other hand, under sunlight it still looks really thin and the hairs feel like they are far and apart from one another. I have curly hair so im guessing that could be a factor. Im putting up a few pics, please comment and let me know what you think. A second intervention to thicken ?

Answer: 11 months post 4000 grafts FUE The area transplanted was quite large and will not create the desired density. Plus, some (many) of the grafts did not grow and thus giving the light coverage look. Doing 4000 grafts in one setting with curly hair is very challenging and if done poorly or rushed could lead to negative consequences.

Answer: Adding more density after FUE A second procedure would give you more density, and though things would be better your scalp would probably still show in bright sunlight or when your hair is wet. Scalp micropigmentation would be another good option to make your hair appear significantly thicker.

Answer: 11 months after hair transplant I would recommend waiting for at least another 6 months before you have another procedure done. At this point, it appears from your photos that the hair has 1 - yet to grow, or 2 - you had a lot of failed grafts that did not grow. Hopefully the hairs are still dormant and will grow start to grow soon. If not, you had significant graft failure from your procedure. At that point, you will need to consult with a reputable hair restoration physician to find a good solution for you.

Answer: 11 months What shows in your photos does not look like 4000 grafts that have grown in. I always tell patients that their recourse is to speak with their surgeon if they are every disappointed in their hair transplant results. Good surgeons care about patient results and their satisfaction and it is their surgeons that set the expectations that are needed. The discussion with your surgeon is not and should not be confrontational. It should be a cordial meeting where you can discuss what you are seeing on your head and what expectations you had going into the surgery. Sometime, the results fall short and if is the case, try to find out why that happened and if you both communicated properly on the expectation issue.
