Hair growth timeline - should my results be 80% done at 8 months post-op?

Todd.40.1982May 6, 2022
Hello: Researching online and seeing posts on Real Self, it appears that people 8 months post hair transplant should have 80% growth. I did FUE in September 2021. All 5 consulted HT surgeons all agreed on the same exact number of grafts (3500 grafts) need to produce natural looking thick density. However, at 8 month my hairline is still see through. Should my results at this point be 80% done with the remaining months producing 20% growth & change?

Based on the timing of transplanted hair growth vs. your native hair growth, you should be able to tell a difference as natural hairs will grow faster than your transplanted hairs.

I recommend you schedule a consultation with a qualified and experienced hair transplant surgeon in your area. In this stage, the best results are often achieved with a combination of hair transplant surgery and finasteride and minoxidil treatment.

You are still in the earliest phases of your growth. Some of the hairs that have already grown in will continue to thicken. New hairs may still emerge. It's important to wait 12-15 months before assessing the final results of your surgery.
