Hair transplant 7 months post op. Any suggestions?

Question

Hello. I am currently creeping up on 7 months post op frontal hair transplant. I recently posted about a month ago and didn't get much on feedback. There's a decent amount of hair grown in, I'm wondering if there's anymore under the surface or/ and if what's there now will thicken up being that it's pretty thin at this point. Doesn't have the full mature look quite yet. I am using minoxidil once daily along with low level laser helmet. And feedback would be great! Thanks.

The best thing to do is to follow up with your surgeon for a follow up examination.  It may take 6 to 12 months to see results.

It is always wonderful to hear about early results.  It can take a full 18  months to see the full effect. Best of luck!

Jennifer Krejci, MD · Answer

At 7 months you are still on the early side of your full results.  By 6 months one should expect only about 1- 1/2 inches of new hair growth and it will be finer in nature than your full results.  I know it is difficult being patient but that is what it takes at this point.  There is nothing you can do to speed up your hair growth, it is simply a matter of time. After going through this type of procedure it is sometimes hard not to obsess in the mirror looking for each and every hair to grow but this will only lead to frustration.  Try to relax and trust that your surgeon did a good job and in about 6 months from now you can effectively evaluate the outcome together by comparing with your before photos.

I tell my patients that they can expect 80% of the growth in 8 months at 90% in 10 months. Some people see more growth for up to a year.
