7 months post FUE operation. My hair is growing in uneven . At this point should I be concerned? (photos)

Question

I received a fue surgery august 1 with 2700 grafts concentrating on the temple area. I am concerned about the amount of growth and how uneven it is. My initial grafts did take a few months to fall out. I take 5mg finsteride daily

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.

David Deutsch, MD · Answer

At this point you still have another 4-6 months of growth until your final result is achieved.At that point I would follow-up with your surgeon to evaluate your results(compare before and after photos) and plan further therapy.

Individual
transplanted hairs typically grow at slightly different rates.  So be patient and give it more time - 6
months more time for your hair to grow.  
If at one year you do not have the desired density, you may want to
think about a second transplant.

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

I think it seems to be low density and un successfull result for the 7 month post op.. you may need a revision surgery to get more density .But regrowing hair is thin, undersized and not bright untill 4-5 th months of hair transplant. İt's normal for new growing hair starting to get native characteristics, waviness, curl in first 4-5 months.This actually takes 10-13 months for hair to become full mature , as thick and bright as native hair.

Sean Behnam, MD · Answer

7 months is still in the middle of the process. Generally you shouldn't be concerned about uneven/patchy or even just plain slow growth until month 10 or so. It's until around that point do you have a fairly accurate snapshot of what the final result will look like at around 12 months. For now I suggest that you just wait it out and watch for any changes over the next few months.

Baubac Hayatdavoudi, MD · Answer

At 7 months you will be at only about 55 - 60% growth generally, at 12 months you will be at roughly 90% growth. As the result grows in some areas may lag behind. Do not worry, remain patient and continue to follow your doctors post op care instructions.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

If you have uneven growth at 7 months, I would wait another 2 months before being concerned. It is not unusual the growth is asymmetrical.,

hello

I am not sure of your post op pics, they all look preops to me. I see that your grafts have been placed pretty wide apart, so you cannot expect huge densities. I am sure your surgeon discussed this planning with your doctor proeperatively. Hair transplant is a constant struggle between coverage and density. the focus should be on density, however in you it seems to be coverage. At seven months, i would be worried. Do discuss with your doctor
