14 months post a 4500 grafts combined FUT+FUE Hair Transplant procedure. Thoughts on results? (photos)

Question

The photos are 14 months post 4500 grafts combined procedure. I have also attached few pictures taken just before the procedure. My questions: (A) the right hand side has grown less than the left hand side. I still notice small grafts few millimeters in lengths that have not fallen nor have grown to match other hair. Will such small hairs grow or will it fell down? (B) does this seem to be a successful procedure from the general look at the pictures and considering that 4500 grafts were done?

If you are concerned, follow up with your surgeon for an exam.Personalized medical treatment advice on the Internet without a good history and examination is inaccurate and may lead to confusion and misinformation.

Great question. Are you in any medical treatment (Minoxidil and/or Finasteride for hair loss? I am asking because the value of the treatment to stable your hair loss and some regrowth (non-transplanted hair). Also the medication will help your transplanted hair. It is difficult to comment in your case. My best advise is to contact your hair surgeon for a complete evaluation of your case. If that is not possible I will suggest you a 2nd and possible 3rd opinion. Good luck.

The results should be evaluated by you. Are you satisfied with the results?  Did the surgery meet your expectations?  The frontal hairline and frontal hair looks thin so I would wonder where all of the grafts were placed.
