You really can't expect to see full results 3 months after surgery.  You may see nothing.  It can take as long as one year.  If you believe something is wrong, it is always a good idea to follow up with your doctor.

Sean R. Weiss, MD, FACS · Answer

Following transfer of hair, or a hair transplant, the hair will typically fall out initially.  Regrowth occurs between 2-6 months on average. In rare circumstances it may take longer.

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

If you are concerned about any aspect of your surgery be sure to make an appointment with your surgeon Hairs start growing in at 2-5 months after the procedure. There are a variety of reasons why your hair might not be growing in that area.  Be sure to check with your surgeon to determine if it's normal.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

You will not see any growth for a total of 5-6 months, then it will start to grow and by the 8th month you should have 80% of it grown in by then

the hair goes through its own intrinsic growth cycle. The transplanted hair usually starts to grow in after three months and will continue to grow for up to 18 months after the procedure.
