Question

Dear sir/mam , post 7 months of hair transplantation - there is less hair growth I feel , I am taking folli hair tablet from past 2 months and oiling and shampooing 3 times a week as per suggestion of doctor.

Attaching current and old pics for reference

Dear manimaestro,Thank you for posting this question. Looking at the photographs it's not possible to get an accurate assessment. I suggest you see your physician and ask about your concerns. Also, dosages of thyroxine are not helpful without other information like your levels of TSH, etc. This needs to be addressed by an endocrinologist that you go to see in person. I hope this information is helpful to you.Kind Regards,Ken Anderson, MD, FISHRS

It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor

It is hard to judge from these photos but I would definitely contact your hsir specialist. Possibly see if you are losing more hair from MPB and in need of medication therapy. You still have several months to know if your transplant made a difference.

Karl Hekimian, MD · Answer

It takes 8-12 months to see final results.  Give it at least another month or two,  then go see your surgeon to review photos and discuss results.  If you're not using minoxidil (Rogaine), finasteride (Propecia) or laser therapy you can discuss this as well.  Also discuss the role of platelet-rich plasma.

You should return to see your surgeon. If your surgeon is like me, he will care about the poor results and do something about it
