Why No Photos of Hair Transplants 3-4 Years After Surgery?

hi doctor,
in most of the hair transplant sites one mostly see the after photos of 6 months or 1 year after the procedure. my question is what happens thereafter ? could you provide some 3-4 years after photos so to see the longetivity of results of transplant.

The hair transplants are permanent. At the 1 year mark, the results will be fully visible. I’m not sure the benefits of seeing 2-3 years later, as the transplants will be the same as after 1 year. I have seen patients transplanted in the 1960s and 70’s with the terrible old plugs, and other than turning gray, they still have those same terrible old plugs. I have seen many patients 10 years out and they are happy and their hair is about the same as it was in their 1 year picture, so I just make a note on the chart saying “no change” and do not take routine photographs. If you are implying that some terrible disaster happens to the new hair and that is a concern for you, don’t worry about that one.
