Zero hair growth 9 months post-op 2nd hair transplant

After a hair transplant, patience is key—because new hair growth takes time and goes through natural stages.

Here's what typically happens:

First 2–4 weeks: The transplanted hair may shed—this is completely normal and part of the process.

3–4 months: New hair begins to grow. It may be thin at first.

6–9 months: Hair becomes noticeably thicker and denser.

12–18 months: Full results are usually visible, with mature, natural-looking hair.

Technique matters: The results depend heavily on the surgeon’s skill and the method used (FUE, DHI, FUT, etc.). A precise, careful technique ensures healthy graft survival and natural hairline design.

Aftercare is crucial: How well you follow post-op instructions—like keeping the area clean, avoiding trauma, and using prescribed treatments—can greatly impact the success of your transplant.

With the right approach and care, your new hair will grow just like your natural hair—strong and lasting.
