Ken Anderson, MD, FISHRS · Answer

Dear john_ssThank you for writing in with your question.  At 3.5 months following a procedure, you should just start to see the first few new follicles sprouting new hair.  A certain percentage of the hairs should have just stayed where they were placed, and continued to grow where they were placed.  This percentage will vary, depending on whether PRP was used in conjunction with your procedure, how long the grafts were outside your body (a function of the talent, experience, and dedication of your physician and his surgical team of technicians), among other factors.  The hairs that shed out in the weeks following your procedure should return asynchronously from about month 3 to about month 8.  Most patients experience a large growth phase in months 4-6 or so.  However, you may be a late bloomer, and your hairs may experience their growth phase in months 5-9.  I hope this information is helpful to you.

nor tally the transplanted hair falls down between the 2nd week and the 2nd month. The regrow starts from the 3 rd month. Around 60-70%of the results can be seen in 6 month but for the 100% you should wait around 12-15 months

Generally hair starts to
grow within 3.5 to 4 months after a hair transplant and restore its thickness
within 6-12 months.  But improvements
could continue into the 18th month. The density depends on the
thickness of your donor hair prior to the hair transplantation. If you desire
more fullness after 18  months, consider
doing a follow up hair transplantation procedure.

Every patient is different but it may take six to twelve months after surgery to see results.  If you are concerned follow up with your doctor.

At 3.5 months I would expect to see minimal growth in most patients. It's possible a patient may have significant growth already, and its also possible a patient may have zero growth at that time. It really just comes down to the specifics of the specific patient and their procedure.
