Will I still get new hair growth 8-10 months post-op?

Question

How often do you see new growth in your patients during this time period? I have read that you usually see the last 10-20% of hairs sprout at 8-10 months.

Epameinondas Bonaros, MD · Answer

Approximately 80% of the new hairs have fully penetrated the scalp after eight months, while the result is around 60%-70% mature. Some patients grow quicker, and many also grow slower. Just because you find yourself behind the curve does not mean your result will be worse. It just means it may take less or more time to reach its final conclusion. As with any surgical procedure, the success of your hair transplant depends on you following your doctor’s guidance, so make sure to contact them if you have any concerns.

Thank you for your question. Each patient varies, however there is definitely still growth from 8-10 months post-op. Typically, a good gauge of the density can be appreciated at about the 9month mark. The final result isn't truly appreciated until 12 months. Certain areas such as the crown, tend to take a little longer and can be up to 18 months. The best way to appreciate the progress is to take photos in the same location every month.
