8 Months post FUE and I am worse off. What can I do? (Photo)

By 8 months, a hair transplant patient should have a fairly
good idea of the growth. While it's true that it can take longer (.... even up to 18
months), the vast vast majority of patients experience some nice growth by 8
months. There is no harm in waiting a bit longer - but improvement is (statistically speaking) quickly unlikely.  





Fortunately, poor hair growth following hair
transplantation is not something that happens all that often. But when it
occurs the surgeon will need to explore many, many possibilities, including patient factors,
physician factors and scalp factors. All in all, anyone with poor growth needs
to sit down with their physician to review things in detail.



PATIENT FACTORS



There are a few patient factors to
consider - and many are centred around post op care
of the grafts. The other patient factor that is important is
smoking. Occasionally, smokers have poor growth for reasons that are not
completely understood. Other factors one might think about under patient
factors are medications that impair hair growth or cause excessive
bleeding. There are a few other factors as well that a surgeon will review
with a patient with poor growth.





PHYSICIAN FACTORS



Physician factors also include the physician and his or her hair transplant team. These factors  include overly tight packing
of the grafts (too tight, too packed can lead to poor growth) improper depth of
grafts, rough handling of grafts by technicians, harvesting of grafts,
temperature of grafts and poor hydration of the grafts. All these things are important. Sometimes the density is too high to begin with in certain areas. But these are the things
to think about in the "Physician Factors"



SCALP FACTORS



This is also an important categories.
Some scalps (because of excessive sun damage or other factors) may take up
grafts less efficiently and this leads to poor growth. Some scalps bleed more
than others are this can rarely impact growth due to post operative
"popping" of grafts. Infection post surgery can impair growth as
well. And finally some patients have scalp diseases that are either present
before the surgery (but could not be detected) or some patients develop new
scalp diseases after the surgery that impairs the growth of the grafts. This is
rare.
For example some individuals rarely develop alopecia areata or rarely develop
scarring hair loss problems after their hair transplant. These scalp issues can
impair growth partially or completely. A scalp biopsy is sometimes needed to
diagnose these problems.CONCLUSION 



As you can see there are many, many possible
reasons and only with a careful evaluation and a bit of "detective
work" can a few possibilities be uncovered. That said, sometimes hair transplants don't generate the results that were expected and the next time they do. Any surgeon will tell you in a busy practice, there are occasionally patient's the have less than expected growth. Hair transplant is a fascinating science - but not an exact science.  Far from it. 

Full results will take further 3 -4 months to appear.2000 fuel grafts are not sufficient to give high density in front arras specially in top views.If u want high density u might require 2 nd sitting. 12 monthd After 1st procedure.   That's y I advice to do F U T for baldness like u to have fuller look in one go .around 4000 grafts are easy to extract by FUT with trychophytic closure technique almost invisible scar on back.
