Uneven hair growth on hairline 7 months

[Harveyboy]

Hi everyone, 

 

I had a hair transplant 7 months ago and the majority of my hairline has grown in very well. However, on the left side of my head the coverage and density doesn’t match which is very frustrating.

 

I have spoken to my surgeon and he said it is still early days and to wait a few months but as you can imagine it is stressful. Is this a common thing?
 

I have attached a photo of my good side and the thinner side

 

opinions? Thanks in advance

Yes it is common and too early.  Looks like good results though.

If is a lot thinner than the other side. I’m just hoping this happens to a lot of people so I don’t stress as much.

 

thanks for the reply

You still have a LOT of growing left to do and this is actually a common occurrence. Just be patient for now. I know it's easier said than done. Who did your surgery?

Looking great, any pre-op and immediate post-op pics?

Here’s pre and post op

Who performed the surgery? You really need to wait until 12 months before assessing your results. We are our own worst critics.

I will share who done the surgery once it’s completed as I don’t want to affect his good reputation until I have a clearer idea of the full results. Just hard when you see most people’s grown out at this point. I’m only at 7 months so maybe it’ll grow in more.

Looks like a terrific result already, so just give it time to even out.  It's quite common to have one side grow in faster than the other.

Thanks mate, will do. I tried Googling a lot and couldn’t find much on peoples experiences on it growing in uneven

Just be patient and hopefully you will see more growth on that side.  At what month did you start to see the initial new growth?  Typically its 3-4 months.

Honestly I may be in the minority here but I think your hairline looks freaking amazing based on those pics. The slight imperfections are what makes it looks natural. That said, as the owner of the hair I get where you're coming from. But if I passed you on the street, or even was sitting across from you in a brightly lit cafe, I would have no idea you'd had a HT. All I'd be thinking is "damn that guy has an amazing head of hair".

If it still bothers you rest assured it'll likely thicken out more in the coming months, or you could try a bit of minox/derma rolling.

Looks good to me. Still lots of time left for further growth/maturing ! Please keep us updated 🙏

I think you're looking great! I'm also having uneven growth, for whatever it's worth, though I'm earlier in the process (4 months).

You’ve got some incredible growth already who was the surgeon?

[mxm56]

Looks great! Maybe a small touch up would help with the part u don't like 100%.

[Harveyboy]

The side that was poor still hasn’t grown in. Very disappointed 

[Myloloves]

You should not worry too much, you still have like 9 months to see the difference.

Sorry your frustrated. Hang in there a couple more months and have a conversation with your surgeon around one year post surgery.
