Question

i have done my hair transplant on 28 January 2016. its been over four months but i am not seeing any positive result on my scalp. Is this case look failure ..????

Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. This case is not a failure because the majority of the regrowth will accord in the 6-12 month phase. You are probably exiting the shedding phase and should experience positive results soon. Always consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.Best wishes,

It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results.  Some people may not see any results at the 4th month.  If you are concerned, please contact your doctor.

No it is still way too early for appreciable results. You need to wait until a full year to see the final results,

Matt Tahsini, MD · Answer

Thank you  for posting your question. At only 4 months out, it might still be too early to call your procedure a failure. It takes anywhere from 3 to 4 months to see the slightest change, wait until month 6 to judge. Some patients get quicker growth, and others take a bit longer. At 6 months you should be at 50% growth and full results can take up to 12 to 14 months if not a bit longer. Hope this helps. Meanwhile you may want to consider PRP, Minoxidil 5% Topical and possibly Finasteride oral or topical if you can.

Evaluating a hair transplant result as a failure you should wait at least 10 months. On the 4th month it is possible to see very little or no growth.The best option is visiting your doctor and take it easy.

Michael Meshkin, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

The implanted hair goes through a cycle of growth. Depending on the stage of growth they are in individually, they will grow out accordingly. It usually starts to grow after four months,  by six months  you get  about 40 percent growth and ten percent growth each month after that. In some cases it may take up to 18 months for all the hair to grow in.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

At this point in time, you must wait it our for a full 6-7 months as some people take that long to start the growth cycle.
