FUE Hair Transplant - 2500 grafts after 5 months results - opinions? (Photos)

Question

Hello Docs, I did a hair transplant five-months ago (2500grafts) and i would like an opinion on my results so far. Should it be denser by now? I have seen other transplants and they seem to have more density. I recognize that it is still early, but I expected to have more results at this time. Thank you!

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

Hussain Rahal, MD · Answer

At five months it is very early to tell the final outcome of the procedure. From the photos, you have growth that is on par with 5 months time, but the final outcome is months away. You can follow up in 2-3  months and we can give a better indication of outcome

Ilker Apaydin, MD · Answer

As a general rule after hair transplantation you will begin to see the result on the third month. And you will see  10% increase in the density per month. This means on the fifth month you can expect 50% percent regrow.You will improve more.
Before one year it’s not reasonable to asses the result of hair transplantation. And please do not compare your result with other patients. Because hair quality, hair thickness, hair fullness, wound healing are all different patient to patient. You can’t even expect the same result between two patients who have the same amount of grafts transplanted by the same surgeon.

You have growth at 5 months which is what I would expect. Over the next few months you will see more growth and more length on the hairs that are growing
