Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It can take six to twelve month after a hair transplant surgery to see results.  So after a six months, it may be too early to tell.

Michael Vories, MD · Answer

Most patients are mostly grown out at 6 months.  If you experiencing no growth at 6.5 months, it maybe time to contact your clinic to see if there was some reason for the delay.

Sean Behnam, MD · Answer

6.5 months isn't the type to start worrying, it likely just means your growth cycle is a bit later than most. If you hit months 8-9 and still aren't seeing anything, that's when you should starting feeling concerned and you and your doctor should have a conversation about what is happening.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Wait it out until the 8th month and by that time if you don't have growth, hit the panic button and go back to your doctor

Brian Goertz, MD (retired) · Answer

Hair will generally start to regrow 2-5 months after surgery. Some individuals take longer but that is uncommon. The grafts should regrow if the surgery was performed correctly and the pattern of hair loss was diagnosed correctly. You should see your doctor in followup for a recheck.
