Why has my hair not grow properly after Hair Transplant?

Question

my hair is transplanted last year September but only transplanted hairs are grown without volume (its looks single single hair ) why ? and what reason not to grow with volume ?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Maybe it was a bad surgery.Maybe it has not grown yet.The best course of action is to follow up with your doctor.You will lose your transplanted hair as well as some of your native hair weeks after surgery.  You may look worse before it starts to look better. It may take 6 to 12 months to see the results of a hair transplant surgery.  It is always a good idea to follow up with your doctor for a recheck if you have concerns.

The main reason for hair not growing with full density after a hair transplant is the techniques used for transplantation and the density created during the procedure.  If you transplant a small number of hair follicles in a large area the results are not going to be very thick.  There might be some other less common reasons like other dermatologic conditions that may affect normal hair growth.  The best is to be seeing by a good hair transplant surgeon and be evaluated for this condition.

It sounds like you're not happy with the density of your transplant.  The density of hair growth from your transplant is determined by the number of grafts and what hair you started with.  It is possible to improve density by transplanting to the same recipient site a year later.

No results in medicine are guranteed.  You can have a transplant and get no growth. Just like you can be treated for cancer and still not cure the cancer.

If you have a problem with what you think is a failure of the hair transplant to grow to meet your expectations, meet with your doctor and discuss this problem with them/ You must wait at least 8 month for a cosmetically satisfactory result to appear
