Hair transplant at 6 months. Hairline looking sparse? (Photos)

Question

It has been 6 months since I have done my procedure (FUE) to correct my hairline. Since month 2.5/3 hairs started growing, but at 6 months my hairline is looking sparse and not dense at all. Is this normal? I am in contact with my clinic and am looking for second opinions. Many thanks

As always it is best to follow up with your hair transplant clinic for a check up. Looking at the pictures it appears that the result is more than adequate for 6 months post hair transplant. A natural hair line lowering procedure requires more than 40 follicles per cm2 and this is sometimes difficult to achieve in one procedure, therefore I advise all my patients to expect another smaller procedure 1 year later to perfect density.

If you are having issues with your surgery results it is best to follow up with your doctor since photos don't tell what was done (how many grafts were placed or what it looked like before the surgery).

Hi Spotty_Thanks for your post and your photo's.As per the other PS you do need to be a little more patient. The results will take at least 18 months to fully realise.You may or may not need to revisit this closer to that time, and talk it over with your surgeon.Looking good though

Hang in there, full results can take up to 18 months.  At 6 months, if you are using minoxidil, you will be at approx 50% density.
