At 7 months, you should see growth from the transplants. It sounds like it’s possible that your transplants grew in right away (seen in 5% of patients), but you may have experienced shock loss in the surrounding hair, leaving you no better off than before you started. As for redness, it should’ve subsided months ago. […]

A hair transplant failure in the crown is something you need to discuss with your hair transplant surgeon. What you described should not be normal.
Story time! Although I can’t provide photos (by patient request), I’ll do my best to paint the picture… A man in his early 20’s flew to Los Angeles from Alaska to see me last month. He already had two hair transplant procedures using the follicular unit extraction (FUE) technique — one surgery of 1,000 grafts, […]
I have had a number of patients that just want to be bald. I couldn’t say what your personal options are, as every case is different. Electrolysis, for example, has a 50% failure rate per hair and the use of pinpoint lasers are generally not effective here either. Surgery works, but I would have to […]
Honestly, I don’t know. It can take as long as a year before all the hair grows in, although that long is unlikely. Furthermore, nothing is a 100% in life (except death and taxes). In my opinion, failure from follicular unit extraction (FUE) is common, even with doctors who promote them. The procedure is very […]
If you did not pull out the grafts in the process, I would doubt that any problems would have been produced by the conditioner you used after 10 days have passed.
Failure to grow can happen, even if everything is done right. Assuming that your doctor and his/her team did it all right and you did not grow the hair, you should sit down with your doctor for a frank discussion of the problem. His/her experience should produce a good interchange with the risks of failure […]
I just spoke to a lady who had eyelash transplants 18 months ago. She wanted to know my opinion on her complications, which include: loss of native eyelashes, failure of the transplanted eyelashes to grow, and some infection. This is the problem I am hearing from many people who have had this procedure and therefore […]
I am slightly confused by your question. If you are saying that the hair originally grew and then fell out sometime later, that confuses me. Previouos hair transplants, once they grow, usually last the lifetime of the patient. A good doctor would, I would guess, offer you a repeat procedure if he could not find […]
Thank you for following BaldingBlog! We try to get to all the questions from hundreds of questions sent to us weekly, but it just doesn’t seem possible. A good number of the questions are the same or similar to those that have been asked before, so we put priority to the questions that have never […]
My first cousin just had a diagnosis of prostate cancer. With my help, we explored his options. He is 67 years young and his father lived to 96, and many on both sides of his family lived into their 90s and 100s. This is important, because the decision on which treatment to take for the […]
I never worry about growth at only 5 months. You should be seeing growth any day now. Wait out a full 8 months and then you can make a proper assessment. Always consult with your doctor for the type of reassurance you need.
You should certainly speak with the doctor who did it and ask that doctor this very question you posed to me. The crown generally takes a great deal of hair grafting to see significant benefits. If you did not lose your original native hair with the transplant and had a significant number of grafts, then […]
I have written about body hair transplants extensively in this blog (search for body hair transplants). Be very careful with body hair transplants; the failure rate is very high. I would be concerned that if your hair is see-through on the sides and back of your head (I assume that is what you mean by […]
A hair transplant will grow almost 100% of the time. When they do no,t the failure to grow can be segmented into: Patient causes: These are diseases like the various forms of autoimmune and scarring alopecias such as alopecia areata. These take many forms. Infection: If a person gets a bad infection in the recipient […]
