I have had 2 FUE procedures. Both were to my crown only. The first was in January of 2018 with about 1700 grafts and the second was in May of 2019 with around 1500 grafts. I know i am only 7 months into the second procedure, but my concern is there is not a noticeable difference from when i started. My wife assures me there is "hair everywhere", but i just still feel so self conscious about it and feel like it should be much fuller by now. Professional opinions?
Answer: Final Hair Transplant Result I understand your last picture was taken 7 months after your second procedure. Hair grow speed is dependent on many factors (age, lifestyle, environmental, among others) and varies from patient to patient. It can take up to a year-14 months for a final hair transplant result to show. Be patient and reassess the final result when that time comes.

Answer: Be Patient Some patients may have other factors to their hair which can contribute to hair loss which need to be properly evaluated. Hair loss is a complex medical and surgical problem which requires specialized attention to achieve appropriate results.Aside from transplantation, you may want to consider trying a Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injection first. The addition of concentrated growth factors to thinner regions of hair can drastically stimulate follicle growth. Plus, it's a financially conservative treatment. I like to use PRP with my patient's hair transplants, as well as separately from their procedures. Patients that have thin regions of hair can use PRP for correction to hair density and there are numerous areas you can use it - beard, brows, and scalp being most common. Best, Anil Shah, MD

Answer: Wait and see the full result first. 3200 follicular units have been used to the crown already, so the 3rd surgery must be careful. You can wait until the full result around 12 months and then consider if you really want to spend most the reservoir donor on the crown area. hairloss is ongoing process and you may require more donor hair at the front as well. You can add SMP in conjunction with hair transplantation to make a densr look. Or you can look for anothe resources of donor hair. Beard hair is also a good option to transfer to the crown.
