“Wispy” and Lifeless Hair 5 Months After a Hair Transplant – Is This Normal?

This insightful information was posted on our hair restoration forum by Dr. Timothy Carman  of La  Jolla, CA, who is recommended on the Hair Transplant Network.

I am 5 months out from hair transplant surgery and hair  growth appears wispy and lifeless in some areas.   Will this improve with time?   Also, can I expect more hair growth in the coming months?   Also, why do I have pimples on my scalp?

Newly transplanted hair typically grows in with less caliber at the start, so remain optimistic and continue to be the  “patient” patient as you have been.   5 months out from hair restoration surgery  is definitely too  early and yes, you should continue to see increased density with more time.

The pimples are a very good sign that things are right on track.
