Senior Member FinallyHT Posted June 27 Senior Member Share Posted June 27 I had surgery seven months ago. The area in yellow has not grown in. Is it true that the further back the grafts, and if there are new grafts placed in front, the grafts in back compete for blood supply and take longer to grow or not all?

Senior Member gillenator Posted June 27 Senior Member Share Posted June 27 The first photo shows your hair fully grown out so unless you have progress pics with a much shorter hair length, it’s very difficult to evaluate.

Senior Member FinallyHT Posted Thursday at 03:48 PM Author Senior Member Share Posted Thursday at 03:48 PM It’s now 8 months and a few days. What are the odds that this is a case of slow growth?

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted Friday at 05:43 AM Moderators Share Posted Friday at 05:43 AM It's hard to know how much (or how little) hair you had in that spot prior to the hair transplant, so we can't properly evaluate it. With that said, it's not going to be as dense as the hairline. The Dr will usually make the area behind the hairline less dense so they don't use up too many grafts in areas that are hard to see or will be easily covered by surrounding hair. 1 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a paid forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.
