Regular Member Sunset Dune Posted December 27, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted December 27, 2023 Generally speaking how long of an interval should there be between hair transplants? If you want to have a full head of hair without any visible thinning by addressing each problematic area one by one (hairline/frontal third region, mid scalp and crown) Should you get a transplant every year or wait at least every 2 years? I’m assuming the scalp needs time for recovery and so does the donor area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jjalay Posted December 28, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted December 28, 2023 If you are planning to treat different areas you can have a second surgery 6 months after your first surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were a Norwood 7 like myself you could have surgery a day at a time like I did (with the right doctor). If you are say a Norwood 3 I would wait as long as possible between surgeries to get the most out of the transplant. Of course if your hair loss has definitely stabilized due to medication then this is not as much of an issue. 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
