Touch up surgery ???


Recommended Posts

Anyone had touch up surgery on hairline after transplant.  I hope I am wrong but I suspect the procedure I had 5 months ago will have some holes in it.  I made need a few hundred grafts to patch up the areas where its sparse.   Anyone had this done to augment an incomplete job??

A lot of guys end up going for a touch up procedure to make some minor changes or fill in any areas they think are still too thin. Just remember to think about the long term picture. Don't try to get one area too thick without saving enough donor for future hair loss.

If you had surgery 5 months ago, you are not done growing. Give it a year, and then reassess.

I could not agree more...you really need to wait for this procedure to fully mature before you can fairly assess it.
