Greetings everyone,

I'm six weeks past surgery and very happy with the results.
I have a few questions though.
Currently I've retained nearly half the transplanted hair. Is there a chance that I will lose anymore hair even more than two months post surgery?
Also when should i expect to see any signs of the new hair?


Thanks!

You might be one of the lucky ones and keep the transplants that are still holding on. You can expect initial growth between month 3-4.

leica,

Unfortunately, you can still shed your transplanted hairs well into 2 months post surgery.

New signs of growth vary with each person, but the average seems to be around 3 three months post op. Don't be alarmed if you go past this mark as this is only an average. It's going to be hard waiting and I've heard the 3-4 month mark is the hardest. Grow well!


I'm employed as the lead medical tech and surgical manager for the Shapiro Medical Group. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Leica,

Thanks for the update.

As Janna said, shedding of the transplanted hair can still occur and it most likely will. On a rare occasion, a few patients may keep some or even a good portion of the transplanted hair, but I wouldn't expect this.

Keep us posted on your progress.
