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?

Emrah Cinik, MD · Answer

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.

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.

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.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

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
