Is the spacing of my grafts too far apart? (Photo)

Question

I had hair transplant about 7 days back in my crown area. Want to know if my grafts are implanted using too much space or is it the normal way to implant grafts in crown area?

Michael Vories, MD · Answer

Crown cases are the most difficult to obtain good density, and it often takes a large amount of grafts. The answer to your question comes back to how much hair was in the grafted area before the transplant. If there was very little hair in your crown I doubt that the grafts in the photo are going to make a big impact.

William Woessner, MD · Answer

The grafts seem to be spaced appropriately for the amount of area covered. Use minoxidil topical nightly and be patient for the next several months for the bulbs to sprout.

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

Although it seems to implanted less than enough in vertex area, remember that the result of the hair restoration surgery  depends on the hair quality (color, color difference between skin/hair,  thickness of the hair, curviness or straightness etc).

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

At 7 days, you may have already shed some of the grafts and more shedding will occur over time.  At this point, you should wait and see what you look like in 7-8 months and the question you asked will be answered
