When and Wil my Hair Transplant Thicken and Blend with the Non Transplanted Hair? (photo)

September 24, 2013
Asked By:JoeBrady

Hello, I had an FUE in December, 2012 1500 grafts in the front of my head. My hair started growing at 4 months, and seems to continue to grow slowly. The growth is sparse, and not even. I'm going into the tenth month now. My transplanted hair does not match the non transplanted, in fact; it has blotchy, thin areas, that look like holes. Should I hang in there a bit longer? Should I contact the MD who performed the surgery? Should I be worried? Any help is appreciated! Thanks! Joe
