Question

Pictures attached immediately post surgery and then 9 weeks. I see where the hair pokes through that area has minor swelling...is this normal? Overall how is the progress?

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

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

First regrowth should be observed on 3-3.5 months. 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.

For nine weeks postoperative, your photos appear within normal parameters. Are you using minoxidil (Rogaine)? If not, you may want to use it.

Karl Hekimian, MD · Answer

I see nothing alarming for nine weeks postop.  You have another 6-10 months before you can comment on results and success of procedure.

Everything appears fine. Regrowth normally starts 2-3 months after the transplant. It will take 12-18 months for final results.

At 9 weeks things are looking normal except that you still have crusting in the crown which should have come off with good washing
