4 months post op

Just over 4 months. Clearly see new hair but still not nearly dense enough. What do you guys think?

I actually have not had a transplant. I am on a Medical regiment to prolong or possibly prevent further loss. I am 27 and still have a lot of hair, so I am hoping to keep most of it if I can. Fingers crossed!

I am a Consultant for Dr. Arocha in Houston, TX. I follow up with all of our patients because this is something that is completely new for people who decide to move forward with a transplant. There are a lot of variables for growth and everyone is different. I've seen some patients have growth around months 3&4 that others don't see till months 5&6. Everyone is different and so is the timeframe. The earliest timeframe I have seen the biggest improvements have been around months 8&9 when about 80% of that growth has come in. The full growth cycle of a transplant is about 12 to 18 months so you still have a lot of time left. It takes patience but growth will continue to improve every month. The biggest indication of growth is "stubble" it almost feels like when you don't shave your beard for a few days and the hairs are rough like sandpaper. Those are the new follicles initial growth in the transplanted area. All the grafts will not grow in at the same time, so keep that in mind. This is why it takes time to get a better idea of the final outcome. So far it looks like you are off to a great start.

Make sure to reach out to your clinic and physician for follow-ups. They are very important. They are also the best ones to ask any questions you have because they know you and your case better than any of us online.

Keep us posted on your results and I wish you the best!

From all the patients you have experienced in yours or Dr. Arocha's opinion at what month on average do you see the last of the hairs popping through the skin. The crown is another interesting topic, I hear alot of people talking about how the crown tends to take longer to come through. Is there any truth in that? and if so why ?

Thanks Blake Smith. When did you see the most growth? Month 3 to 4?

[BlakeSmith]

Looking good for the first week. Your gf is right. The way you style your hair, you can hardly tell, especially to someone who has no clue about this stuff. the soreness will get better and better every week. I hope you have a great result and keep us posted. Best!

Guys, forgive me, but the result is clearly visible, but what other stimulants that stimulate hair growth besides transplantation are you using?

3 month update

Here is the 3 month update. Hoping there’s a lot more growth to come. 🤞🏻

Enjoying this thread thanks for the updates

10 weeks post op

It’s almost 10 weeks post op and although not much has changed I have started seeing some small new hairs sprouting. You probably won’t see much improvement from the photos but since it’s been a month I thought I would give an update.

[Ernegz]

We can't see too much wit these post op, however, it will be really interesting to see the results a year later.

[DJR71]

For those of you that have been following my HT updates, this is week six. There are no new pics because there is nothing new to show. The shedding is complete and my guess is it will be another 2 months before I see new growth. I my post 2 and 3 month update pics.

5 weeks post op

Week 5 post op and the shedding is in full force. Seems like 75% of the grafted hairs have fallen out. I’m guessing it will be March before new growth starts coming in and the summer before I see significant results.

How do you feel yours looks now? How long ago did you have it done?
