It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results. If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor
At 5 months it is likely that you only have 50% of the final aesthetic result. Therefore, I would recommend that you wait for another 7 months to assess whether you need further intervention.
Patients see different results at different timing. Although most patients should see some result by month 5 at times it may take 8, 10 or even more to see the result.
Usually hair starts to grow out around 3-4 months, but most of hair growth usually happens between 6-9 months. It may take up to a year to have full hair growth.
At 5 months post-op about half of the transplanted hairs has started to grow. The hairs will initially thicken up as the process continues and the results will be noticeable. After 8 months, roughly 80% of the hairs will be growing in, and the results will be even more noticeable with a very close visual of what the final result will look like.
At a year you have probably 95% of the growth that can be expected. If this growth does not meet your expectation, then go back to your doctor and discuss this. Most of the grafts will havea broken through by the 5-6th month.
It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.
Pain during your surgery is not normal. Surgery should be done with pain free anesthesia. If the doctor is experienced, they should be able to offer a pain free experience.
Planning your surgery is between you and your doctor after an examination and understanding your goals. There is no right or wrong / better or worse. 6000 grafts seem like a very ambitious surgery,
After three months there is no way to lose a graft. If you see something out of the ordinary it may be best to contact your doctor. Otherwise you may be seeing an old scab.
With our SmartGraft technology, we typically want the patient to avoid elevating the blood pressure with workouts until day 10. By day 10 there is typically no arm that can come to the new hair other than a bad sunburn for the first 90 days.
