Can I get an FUE after FUT just for my Widow’s peak? (Photo)

Question

I had an FIT to cover too and have a widows peak but I don’t see it growing after 6 months. I know it take full year to see. But Incase it’s not enough can I get an FUE for only to fill widows peak and how much will it cost if it just that area? Thanks

It may take 8-12 months before seeing the final results of your hair transplant surgery. If you are concerned with the density and shape, follow up with your surgeon for an exam.

Obviously I’d like to do an in person analysis but in general the the widows peak often takes a little longer to start growing after transplant so I’d give it some time. Also another thing is that it generally takes a little more to achieve the desired density in that area since it is usually the thinnest area at baseline. That being said, since you already have a FUT scar, in order to save money consider a second FUT. certainly FUE is easier but for cost savings might be worth just having a shorter strip and a second scar. I think that contemplating cost efficacy is important because very few people can do a hair transplant and not think about money. Hope that helps!

Yes, it is possible to add more grafts with the FUE technique after having an FUT done after the old grafts have grown in.  Prices can vary

Yes, a small FUE is easy to do and the creation of a widow's peak is a relatively easy, quick and painless surgery
