Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Is it possible to have a beard to scalp transplant 3 months after FUE rather than waiting a year?
Rushing is not recommended
Sep 29, 2023
The main reason we wait about 1 year between grafts is that some of the hair follicles that were transplanted would not start to grow until 1 year after transplant. By waiting we ensure that we don’t accidentally damage these dormant follicles and allow you to get the most density possible. If the locations of the graft are different then you can have procedures closer to each other but if the location of the grafts overlap then I highly recommend that you wait.
Can I get an FUE hair transplant to cover my hair?
An FUE Candidate
Sep 29, 2023
Based on your pictures and your story, I believe you are a good candidate for an FUE. Because you had an FUT before, your donor site density should not be low and thus we can get 3000-3500 FUEs with little difficulty. Now that should give you better coverage and in the front better density. I do, however, think that you should still go on Finasteride either oral or topical because if you don’t in 3 years you will likely be in this same place.
30, considering a FUE hair transplant, am I a good candidate?
A good candidate for FUE hair transplant
May 28, 2022
Those are all great questions. Based on your pictures you are a great candidate for hair transplant. You have plenty of donor hair and you will get great results. Generally to get the right density in an area that doesn’t have hair (your recessing temples) you need a fair amount of hair. So I would recommend around 2000 grafts with about 1000 on each side to achieve a high density look.

You are correct to worry about what will happen to the remaining hairs as you age. Some of this w…

Hair loss in my left temple. What should I do? Can it be reversed?
Hair loss due to seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis
Sep 22, 2021
The very likely cause of your hair loss is the skin conditions that you have. The inflammation from both SK and Psoriasis can cause the hair follicles to fall. In most cases this is reversible with control of the underlying condition. Typically a topical steroid shampoo or topical steroid gel can be applied to the area to control the inflammation. This should reverse the hair loss and after a period of 6 months to a year the hair should regrow. Unfortunately, there are some cases where…
On month 7 of second 2500g and nothing!
How long does it take for the second hair transplant to grow
Sep 2, 2021
There is no difference with a first or second hair transplant. Any newly transplanted hair can start growth at 6 month but can be delayed until 1 year. You are still early in the process and it is very likely that over the next few months you will start to see hair growth. I would wait until at least a year. In the meanwhile you can have PRP injections done to the area where hairs were transplanted. In my patients, PRP treatment at the time of the transplant and even after…
Possible transplant for thinning hairline?
Hair transplant thinning hair line
Sep 2, 2021
Hair transplant is an excellent treatment for thinning and receding hair line. However, based on your pictures, your age and your family history, I don’t think that you are a good candidate for hair transplantation yet. Some recession of the hair line is completely normal in men as they age and your pictures don’t demonstrate a pathological thinning or recession at this time. If you are bothered by the appearance, I would try PRP treatment first to see if you can increase the density of…
Does “pitting” get better after hair transplant?
Pitting at the hair line after hair transplant
Sep 2, 2021
I’m sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with your hair transplant results. The pitting that you see is likely areas where a small puncture was placed and hair was put in it. At 6 months, it is possible that the hair follicle has not grown out yet and it can smooth out. At this point I would wait until at least one year. We typically try to avoid the pitting by placing the hair follicles slightly above the skin edge because during the healing phase the follicle gets sucked down a…
