26 yo female. I got my FUE transplant for hairline lowering 6 months ago. I think it’s growing pretty well, I minimize how much I wash my hair and I use rogaine and oils for hair health. The transplanted hair is quite a bit thicker than my natural hair or the donor hair. I’ve read after the first growth phase it can come back more natural looking. I do feel as if they didn’t put enough singles on the hairline though so I may need a touch up procedure if I’m unhappy with the final result.

Answer: Will transplanted hair look more natural as it grows?
Smoking causes constriction of blood vessels and decreased blood flow to the scalp, which may reduce wound healing after a hair transplant and increase the risk of wound infection and scarring. Smoking may also negatively affect hair growth, though no one can predict the extent to which it will...
One session will be enough for you, since the area of baldness is not so large, in one session we will transplant approximately 3000-3300 grafts using the FUE method.We will restore your anterior line, temporal receding hairline.
We recommend our patients wait at least 9 months before considering a second FUE hair transplant. It is necessary to allow the donor area to fully heal before assessing its potential. That way, excessive scarring and overharvesting can be avoided.If you have any concerns, talk to your surgeon.
