Density after hair transplant. Will these hairs get thicker?

Question

I had a transplant just over 90 days ago and seeing my first new hairs!!!! Very exciting to see and feel. Over time, will these hairs get thicker?

David Deutsch, MD · Answer

Your grafts will go through cycles and continue to thicken.In addition new grafts will start to emerge through the scalp.It typically takes 10-12 months to see full results from your procedure.You should be looking good by next summer!

Hello,Density is one of the most critical factors after hair transplantation.  Early on you may not be able to fully determine your density.  Density depends on various factors including the number of hairs  per cm squared, the thickness and vibrancy of hair, direction and design of hair.  Techniques for density vary from surgeon to surgeon.  In my office, we utilize a specialized technique that allows for optimizing density and found it to be helpful.  Best, Dr. Anil Shah

It may take 6 to 12 months to see the results of a hair transplant procedure.  Some may start to see hair growth early on but it may not be the final results.

Sean Behnam, MD · Answer

Yes, most of the time hair will start off pretty thin and grow thicker over the course of the year. Congratulations on seeing them start to sprout!

You
are just past the 3 month mark after a hair transplant and are starting to note
new growth.  Hair will initially start as
fine, thin hair but over the next 4 to 6 months hair will become thicker and
more coarse.  At 12 months, you should
see the final result.
