\"growth<\/a>We answer to our patients and other patients who underwent or planning to undergo a hair transplant surgery in our hair restoration blog<\/a>.\u00a0 Here is one of the question from a patient who has hair transplant around four months ago. Patient is anxious to see growth of his transplanted hair as soon as possible.\u00a0 He stated that he underwent a procedure four months ago and it has been hard to tell the growth of hair.<\/p>\n

He continues as follows, “In November at least over 2 months after the surgery I started using a buzzer on all unaffected areas of my head to balance out the length of the shave of the recipient area.\u00a0 I wasn’t totally bald before so eventually, my already existing hair in the front starting getting a little out of balance.\u00a0 I was pretty cautious about shaving the recipient area, so roughly around mid-December I started shaving it all to balance everything out. I also did it so I could monitor the improvement better, as it’s not easy when it’s uneven.\u00a0 It seems like I have more hair than I used to, but it’s still barely half the density of all the surrounding hair on the sides and around the top, not the front, which is approximately half as dense.<\/p>\n

Can it be the side effect of the finasteride? But I barely remember the holes being poked in the recipient area when my hair transplant doctor performed the procedure.\u00a0 One thing that concerns me is that I was never told exactly how many grafts were transplanted.\u00a0 It never really worried me until now.\u00a0 When I had a previously replacement at X hair clinic, to be exact, they told me, but then I wasn’t under any strong sedatives so perhaps that’s why I’m concerned.”<\/p>\n

Patient asked, “Does transplanted hair regrow at different rates?\u00a0 I know that some has grown in, but to me it’s not enough, as it’s very noticeable that it’s much less dense in the area I expected to get treated the most.\u00a0 Like it doesn’t seem too much improved when compared to before the procedure. To put it frankly, I’m already considering undergoing another transplant procedure, because my expectations were not met\u009d.<\/p>\n

I must admit that my doctor was very nice, and answered all of my questions.\u00a0 However, I must say that I’m not impressed.\u00a0 This isn’t the first hair transplant procedure I’ve undergone. Actually, it’s the third.\u00a0 I don’t clearly remember the dates involved, like basically how long it took to see a difference, but for some reason I’m expecting to see more of a difference this most recent time around, because this hair restoration procedure involved the largest number of grafts.\u00a0 I’m just hoping that it takes longer for all the transplanted hair to actually kick in, and that it ramps up over time.\u00a0 Basically I’m hoping that seeing any difference doesn’t mean that that’s it.<\/p>\n

If you have similar question after hair transplant surgery, don’t panic. The growth of transplanted hair could be very gradual and full result may not be seen before one full year after hair transparent.\u00a0 Of course you need to discuss your concerns with your hair transplant doctor<\/a>.\u00a0 Transplanted hair generally sheds in 90% of people and you do not see anything for about 3 months after the hair transplant surgery.\u00a0 After the third month you may start seeing growth of most transplanted hair.\u00a0 That is more obvious for the patients who do not have any hair at all.\u00a0 People who already have some hair should not be able to see much before 6-8 months from the time of their surgery when transplanted hair is long and thick enough to be distinguished.<\/p>\n

I understand that you are anxious to see the final result as soon as possible, but you cannot rush the growth of grafts.\u00a0 I do not perform nor recommend doing a second procedure before 6 months from the previous hair transplant because many of the grafts are not even out at that time.\u00a0 Be patient and you will see your transplanted hair growing in a few months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
