I have done my FUE 3 weeks ago, and noticed the hair line the doctor put is very down.
hair line location
Mar 17, 2018
The hairline design needs to be age appropriate and also look natural as you mature in your years (in for 40s, 50s, 60s, etc). In general, the hairline should be positioned at least a finger breadth (approx 2cm) above the highest frown line on your forehead. This is where aesthetic judgment and dialogue with your surgeon needs to happen to make sure you can visualize what you may look like. Detailed macro and micro irregularities along the hairline then make the…

Crown baldness and graft number to provide coverage
Mar 17, 2018
To estimate the number of grafts needed, we perform a high definition hair dermoscopy to better visualize the hair that surrounds the bald spot to see whether that area is thinning too (miniaturizing ). If so, then the graft count would reflect providing density in the area that is also continuing to thin. In general, 1250 to 1500 grafts would be needed to achieve a dense result for an area similar to your bald spot.

New hair will growth in the oncoming months after starting minoxidil. Other caveats about minoxidil is that it can irritate the scalp causing itchiness due to a contact dermatitis. It is best to use the medication under the guidance of a hair loss expert to…

Can one preemptively increase skin looseness in donor area before hair transplants to make more FUT’
improving scalp laxity
Mar 17, 2018
It is believed that scalp exercises may improve scalp laxity, but in general its not reliable. Patients who are concerned of a wider scar after a second FUT procedure sometimes consider other hair transplant techniques such as Robotic FUE/FUE which don’t produce linear scars and have the potential to yield more follicular units.

swelling and infection after hair transplant
Mar 17, 2018
Infections after hair transplant are rare. Take every precaution and see the surgeon who performed your operation. A swab of involved area may be taken to determine what bacteria may be causing the problem. The appropriate antibiotic can then be chosen. Other possible additional interventions can include antiseptic soap and rifocina spray.
