Not all hair transplants are the same. There are subtle things that different doctors or clinics do that can affect the surgery. In other words, you are not getting the same product as you would when you buy cars at different dealers. You need to ask your surgeon these things, because I don’t know what […]

For those that aren’t familiar, after a hair transplant surgery it’s common for the grafts to take root and the hairs to then fall out, with growth taking a few months to occur. A minority of patients (less than 5% is my unscientific guess) continue to grow the transplanted hair immediately after surgery. I really […]
I would hope you were given post-operative instructions, and that somebody at the surgical clinic explained to you what was involved and what to expect following a hair transplant. About a month following the procedure most of the transplanted hairs fall out, at times appearing to be the full graft. This should not be the […]
Don’t panic! Results from a hair transplant will usually be seen from 3 months all the way up to 7 months on average. The speed at which it grows has nothing to do with success of the surgery. The waiting is the hardest part… but you’re going to have to find the patience. If at […]
I do not know what is going on in your case, so I could just guess. Maybe you have increasing native (non-transplanted) hair loss. Maybe you have other medical problems. Maybe your hair transplant was not a success. Maybe you have diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA), which would produce failures to hair transplant surgery. Maybe you […]
I’d ignore these hairs. If they are the same length as the day they were put in, they will eventually fall out and new hair will grow from the transplants. Some people keep these beard-like hairs for months after a hair transplant and there is nothing to read into this observation. They aren’t a sign […]
I’ve been thinking about the case I wrote about last week — “How Many FUE Grafts Actually Grew?” — about how a patient (we’ll call him Mr. Smith) came to NHI after feeling royally screwed over by another clinic he went to for his follicular unit extraction (FUE) procedure. It’s quite an interesting case of […]
Without knowing more about your case, it would be difficult to provide much precise information. Sometimes a thin look can appear under harsh lighting because of your hair color, hair character, thickness, etc. The Rogaine and Propecia are good to continue using, but after a year you should’ve seen results by now from the surgery. […]
This patient is in his mid 20s and showed a Norwood class 3 pattern with additional recession in the temple area. The results posted below are after one procedure of 1733 grafts, with the photos taken only 8 months after surgery. I fully expect additional growth in the transplanted area with more time, but the […]
Hair transplantation that failed is a subject you should discuss with the doctor who performed it. This doctor should give you a reasonable opinion as to why the failure occurred. When a hair transplant is unsuccessful, it is almost always caused by technical failures of the surgeon and his team. On rare occasions, the patient […]
You sent a lot of photos, but unfortunately most of them were from a distance and poor quality, so they don’t help me see much. The two best photos are shown below (click to enlarge) — the left photo is from 1 day post, the right photo is from 7 months post surgery. There does […]
Here’s a patient that reported continued growth of his hair transplants without going through the dreaded dormant phase that usually occurs for some time following the procedure. Now to be honest, the After photos were taken just under 2 years after the surgery so I can’t say I saw this instant (or continued) growth with […]
Why don’t you call your doctor who performed the surgery and ask for a follow up appointment? If I paid for something that didn’t turn out the way I thought it would, I’d contact the seller. Although you could apply that logic to buying a used car, this same principle goes for cosmetic surgery. If […]
Any hair (even non-transplanted hair) looks thinner under bright light or certain lighting conditions. In general, transplanted hair falls out within the first month or so and new hairs start growing in 3 to 4 months later. I tell every patient to wait 7-8 months before judging the results. Patience is a virtue! I can’t […]
I do thank you for reading the site and I am more than happy to give you general information, but shouldn’t you be asking your post-surgical questions to the doctor who performed your surgery? Answering such specific and personal post-operative questions (simple as they may be) could be potentially misleading just by the fact that […]
