Q: It had been 5 months since my hair transplant. I only see minimal growth of maybe a few hundred fine hairs. My transplant consisted of 2,217 grafts. Could you give me your opinion if this is normal or is it a failed hair transplant? — L.D., Miami, F.L.
A: It is too early to tell. Hair grows in very gradually with great variability from person to person.
Some patients only have a little fuzz at five months and then have great growth by one year.
You really need to wait the full 12 months to evaluate the success of the hair restoration.
