Hi, recently had a few grafts (FUE) to strengthen my hairline. I could see the red bumps afterwards where the hair had been transplanted. I was worried that i could not not see these bumps in other areas thinking that they had been missed. However i have heard some grafts are put under the skin and cannot be seen (by the visible red bump), just wondered if this is true or not? Thanks

If you have itchy scalp that is causing you to scratch your head during sleep try to reduce the source of the itchy scalp such as adding hair fiber and sticky sprays. You can also discuss this with your doctor.
If you are concerned please follow up with your doctor for an exam. This may or may NOT be normal. You may have had graft loss after surgery. In addition, not all the grafts may have taken (failed grafts).
Generally, single hairs are used for the hairline while doubles or triples are used behind the hairline. If you are dissatisfied with your results, a second surgery may be an option to correct the hairline.Keep in mind that it may take 6 to 12 months to see the results of a hair transplant...
