I'm on 4 month and 3 week of my hairtransplant. So far im unhappy with the result. My donner area is healthy and even the doctor raved that my result will turn out great. I still have some transplanted hair that didn't shed or grow out yet. I expected to have alot more growth at almost 5 month. I asked the clinic about my result and they said I'm right where I should be at 4 month 3 week. I keep thinking that his my hairtransplant is a fail because this isn't the result I'm expecting at this time.

Answer: It is normal to lose transplanted hairs days to weeks after surgery. It may take 6 to 12 months to see new hairs grow out.

It's hard to say for sure without seeing at least a photo. Usually, one sees the follicle or scab for a couple of weeks. In almost all cases, the skin flattens out over time. Please run your concerns by your doctor.
Thank you for question. You have been diagnosed with female pattern hair loss, and are now asking if a hair transplant requires you to shave your head, and what medications can be used to prevent further hair loss.
I can help guide you with this question, without the benefit of a physical exam,...
