FUE: Is this normal growth for 5 months post-op? (Photo)

Question

Is this ok growth for 5 months post FUE? Not much hair has come through I'm worrying now.

Miguel Mascaro, MD · Answer

This looks to be expected for 5 months.  I usually tell my patients that they can expect to see some hair by 5 months, with some substantial growth by 9 months- at that time you should be 80% of the way there.  Otherwise, to get the full result, it really takes about a year.  Best of luck! Things are looking great so far!

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

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

Ozge Ergun, MD · Answer

Regarding your question it looks normal and as expected. Your transplanted grafts started producing hairs and they can be slowly seen after the 3rd month. The hair growth can be different from person to person and this is why we always advise our patients to wait for 10-12 month to see the final result.

Parsa Mohebi, MD, FISHRS · Answer

You
are 5 months post op and sprouting has long occurred.  Hair shafts between months 4 to 8 thicken and
become more coarse.  You have to be
patient and wait until at least one year for the final results.

Craig L. Ziering, DO · Answer

This appears to be normal growth
for an FUE procedure after 5 months. Hair growth following a transplant
typically begins within 3 to 4 months. The majority of change occurs between 5
and 10 months and the final result is usually seen at 12 months with FUT and 15
 months with FUE.
