3.5 months post FUE hair transplant. How much hair should grow?

Question

As I said,it has been 3.5 months post op fue. I am concerned about the hair growth. The transplanted hairs are thin and the shedded hairs have still not started growing. I smoked marijuana this month a few times also. But how much hair should grow at the end of 3.5 months?

It may take six to twelve months to appreciate the results of a hair transplant surgery.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.

After the operation the hair sheds and the permanent hair grows after. The shedding gets complete after the 2nd month, and on your third month you would grow 10% of your hair.

Ben Talei, MD · Answer

Some patients do experience regrowth in the front / hairline area at the 3 months mark post op. However most patients experience the majority of the regrowth anywhere from 7-10 months. At the end of year 1 you will see approximately 80% of what you should expect. Regrowth will go on up until 18 months post op.Results are coming!

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

Regrowing hair is thin, undersized and not bright untill 4-5 th months of hair transplant. İt's normal for new growing hair starting to get native characteristics, waviness, curl in first 4-5 months..This actually takes 10-13 months for hair to become full mature , as thick and bright as native hair.

At 3.5 months, some people see growth and many do not until 4-6 months, Ny the 8th months you should see 80% of the growth to styling length
