What percentage of further hair growth can one expect after the 6-month mark? (Photos)

Question

Dear experts, Assuming that the hair has been constantly cut short since around the 2 month mark, and between the 4-6 month mark I've seen some density increase (see attached before and after), how much more further population hair density could be possible after 6 months?

Amir Yazdan, MD · Answer

Generally speaking, you're around the halfway mark (50%) and will continue to see further results. You can expect to see full results once you've reached your 1 year post-op. For optimal results - follow your doctors medical management recommendations. The link below references some of my hair maintenance recommendations for maximum density.

6 months post operation gives you the 40-50% of your total result. You need to wait for a year in order to see the complete look

It may take six to twelve months to appreciate the results of a hair transplant surgery.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.  Some may not see any results at 6 months.

Baubac Hayatdavoudi, MD · Answer

At 6 months you will be at only about 50% growth, at 12 months you will be at roughly 90% growth. Remain patient and continue to follow your doctors post op care instructions.

My standard answer is that 80% of the hair will grow to styling length in 8 months and the rest in a year

Cory Torgerson, MD, PhD, FRCSC - Account Suspended · Answer

The most noticeable hair growth will start to happen between 6-9 months. It will still take a full year for all hair to grow. By 9 months you should be seeing about 80-85% hair growth.
