    Default Post fue 5 months and a half

    I just completed 5 months and 3 weeks today post FUE 3400 grafts
    Norwood 5A
    Month 3 and 4 -- no growth at all!!
    Last 2 weeks -- my transplanted hairs are growing rapidly but thin
    Is it normal that the beginning of growth at 5.5 month not month 3?
    And i still have one week to complete my 6th month!!
    I dont think within a week will be alot of growth !!
    Should i undergo another fue session?

    Your expectations are too specific - everyone is different growth wise .

    Rule of thumb is that growth can start from month 3 and will finally mature around the 18 month mark .

    Way too early to make judgements and consider further surgery .

    There is no exact timeline that you can adhere to. A good rule of thumb is to not expect any significant results until the 12 month mark. I started growing early (around month 4) but that doesn't mean my results are any better than someone who doesn't start growing until month 8, for example.

    Try to relax and not worry about it at all. Don't check your hair in the mirror 5 times a day. Don't watch the calendar. Don't obsess about it. When you find yourself doing this, find something to do to distract you. Then one day you'll look in the mirror and see a lot more hair than you did before - just like magic.

    I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA. My opinions/comments are my own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Dr. Mohebi and his staff.
