Are these dead follicles?

[Henry]

I had a hair transplant about 3 months ago and started to notice this 2 dots on my recipient site like a month and a half ago, they haven't been growing. I'm wondering, are these grafts that have been placed too close to the surface of the skin?

Dead don’t stick around.

They aren't dead. They will come back in time, three months isn't really a good gauge to evaluate.

It can take as long as 4 months for the new growth to break above the scalp line so give it another 5-6 weeks more time to see.

They will most probably grow in sometime..3months is too early as you would have just come out of the shedding phase and most of the transplanted hairs just begun to grow....thats why doctors advice to wait before judging something so soon because there may be such grafts who are left to grow and will start growing in upcoming days...next 6 months where will probably seen the most of the growth...so give it some time...Happy growing and keep updating ...

@Henry,

If you’ve only had your hair transplant 3 months ago, I would definitely give it more time. There are some hairs that will essentially not shed, and they will essentially not grow either for several months, but then, eventually, they will start growing.  Since new hair growth from a hair transplant typically starts between 3 to 5 months post-op, I would give it several more months before determining what’s going to happen.

I hope this helps

These will no doubt start to grow soon, you’re only in the very beginning stages of this process.

The beginning stages can be the hardest to wait for growth.
