Are all newly transplanted hair follicles visible right after surgery?

Not all hair follicles may be visible to the naked eye after a hair transplant surgery.  If you are concerned it is best to follow up with your doctor and express your concerns.

It is often difficult to see all of the newly transplanted grafts,but there should be some sign of implantation(small shaft of hair,crust,etc).It will take 8-12 months to see full growth.If you have concerns I would suggest returning to your surgeon.

We
use high magnification loupes when scoring the grafts and microscopes when
analyzing & counting. For placement loupes are again used.  In other words, to the naked eye you may not
be able to see every single graft. 

It is difficult to count each individual hair and graft after a procedure, and without seeing a photo it is impossible for us to tell. Have faith in your doctor and remember, you chose your surgeon for a reason. So have faith in your decision and the research that you did. An ethical hair transplant doctor would not short change you on the graft amount. 

No, you frequently can not see all of the grafts unless you use special high depth photos with good magnification as that is how they are put in and observed by the surgeon and the staff

I have been using the FUE technique with excellent results. Usually, you will see the hair growing for the first month and then it tends to fall out and begin growing in several months with the full result only closer to a year.
