Matelot Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hi guys, not posted on here before and just want a little advice. I had a hair transplant six months ago and although ive noticed substantial growth im a little concerned that the area i received treatment is a little patchy. I have however noticed little fine colourless hairs in these areas. Will these little fine hairs grow to something more noticeable. Thanks in advance.

Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted November 24, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted November 24, 2008 Quite possibly. 6months is very early; and you may very well simply be a slow, or moderate grower to boot. Give it time; post some clear pics and you are likely to get some more precise info relayed. But, generally speaking, you are very early, I don't see any glaring signs of horror, and if you went to a top doc/clinic you should be s8. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos.

Bill - Seemiller Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Matelot, I agree with thanatopsis. 6 months is still very early on in the game, and most likely, not all of the transplanted hair has "popped" through your scalp. And even those that did, many are still mostly invisible to the naked eye since they typically start growing as thin, colorless hairs, and slowly mature with time. Give it a full year before evaluating your result. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member wantego Posted November 25, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted November 25, 2008 It is hard to really give opinions blind. If you have taken before pictures and pictures along the way it would really help if you post them so we could see the progress so far. You can crop the pics or block your face if you have privacy concerns.

Senior Member TheHairLossCure Posted November 25, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted November 25, 2008 ???It is hard to really give opinions blind.??? True. I would only add that hair growth following a transplant is irregular. That is to say, not all the grafts begin to grow at the same time. This may be the reason you perceive some patchiness.

Mate would you consider giving us some details if you do not want to post pictures? How old are you? How many grafts did you get? What kind of procedure? Who was your doctor? I hope you have a great next 6 months of growth! 4374 grafts-7/2/2008-Dr Rahal 485 singles 2336 doubles 1526 triples 16 quads 9809 total hairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
