Question

It’s post 6months of hair transplant - only 50% growth - doctors suggested to have folli hair medicine . Shampoo and oiling 3times in a week . Not satisfied with the result . Pls help - Is it normal?

Emrah Cinik, MD · Answer

The transplanted hair start to grow from the 3 rd month. You will see some results in 8 months like 60-70% but for the 100% result you should wait around 1 year-15 months.

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It takes 4-6 months for hair your hair transplanted to grow. At 8 months, 80% of the transplanted hairs should grow. By the 12 month mark, you should achieved full growth.

Sara Salas, MD · Answer

I am surprised that your position or clinic did not inform you properly of a hair transplant. At six months you are going to have approximately 50% of the gross if not more but eight months 80% so you need to wait the full 12 months to get a full yield. I have a feeling that you’re just right on track.

William Woessner, MD · Answer

From these photos, growth and healing appear to be normal. Try to use Rogaine and you have to be patient.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

I tell my patients to wait a full 8 months for 80+% of the hair to grow out to styling length of at least 2 inches
