Had 2,400 grafts in Oct to crown, temples and forelock. Most grafts did not shed and grew slightly in the first month. No significant growth around month 6. Still have many stubble like hairs in the recipient areas, especially the crown. Some of those in the forelock have started growing over past 2 weeks. What are chances more may still grow? Overall, I am happy with results. At 6 month follow-up, surgeon stated I could see results improve up to 18 months.

Answer: Stubble still present at 10 months, will it still grow? db70,It all depends on the post-op course. The prognosis of the transplant is not good if the transplanted hair have remained in place without growth since the transplant over 6 months ago. This is in contrast to transplanted hair remaining without shedding but commencing growth from the very first week. Normal growth is 1mm very 3 days.

Answer: Growth cycle be patient, I've had patients that haven't realized full results until nearly 18 months. The full result is often realized later when the hair doesn't shed immediately post op but begins to grow. The growth cycle can be pushed out a few months when the shedding doesn't occur. I recommend visiting with your doctor and reviewing the result. Also, remember that native density can not be realized with one treatment. You may desire a second procedure.
