“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 [tag]hair transplant[/tag] surgery and [tag]hair  growth[/tag] 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 [tag]transplanted hair[/tag] 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 [tag]hair restoration[/tag] 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.
