I had a hair transplant 7 months ago at the crown area, what should I expect? (Photos)

Question

I put down a photo a week after the surgery of 850 single, double, triple and four haired grafts,to see the density of the grafts, and a photo of complete 7 months …the transplant is supplemental of an old transplant 30% covered of the area,to have an opinion of what I should expect, some doctors say that 7th month is the middle of new hair growth, and some that I'm in 70-80% of the final result

It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.

The final result after hair transplant  will be after 13-14 months specially on the top.For now there 60 % is covered so now we need to wait untill get the final result

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

850 grafts into the crown balding area that large will not produce much density. I would expect that the number should have been close to 2500 grafts not 850
