Beginning of 6 month post op, slow growth? (Photos)

Question

Hello, I had a 5000 graft HT about 5 months ago. I am now entering my 6 month and would like to have secondary professional opinion on the growth im experiencing. People say that 6 month is usually 50% of the result. Is this true for all cases or hair growth speed vary from person to person.

According to growth graphic, you can have 20%30% growth percentage for 4-5 months after the tansplantation. On the 6th month it can be 40%. You can use some vitamins to boost the growth that you can ask for them to your doctor.

The rate at which hair regrowth occurs will also vary from person to person. Currently, half of the transplanted hair has not penetrated through the skin, and those that have are thin and wispy. The hair will mature with time, become thicker and exhibit positive textural changes. I suggest you wait at least six more months before drawing any conclusions. Consider medical treatment with minoxidil or finasteride.

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

First regrowth should be observed on 3-3.5 months after surgery. 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 6-7 months…This actually takes 10-13 months for hair to become full mature , as thick and bright  as native hair.

Roberto Guerrero Zazueta, MD · Answer

I think that just the fact that is starting to grow is a good sign, now is time to wait and you will see more with time, each patient is different but in general is true about the 50% after 5 months, add minoxidil to increase the size of those transplanted hairs
