Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It may take 8-12 months before seeing the final results of your hair transplant surgery. If you are concerned with the density and shape, follow up with your surgeon for an exam.

Six months is too early to assess results, so i would give things some time.  In addition, I like to have my patients apply Rogaine once a day to help accelerate regrowth.

Anthony Bared, MD, FACS · Answer

It is difficult to assess your concerns without seeing the photos before surgery.  This being said, at this point you should start to see regrowth of the transplant but it is prudent to wait at least 10 months to a year to see the final outcomes.  A secondary procedure can be considered after that time to achieve more density.  However, speak with your hair transplant surgeon to rule out other causes of poor hair regrowth.

Guzide Bayrak, MD · Answer

Hello, It is early to expect to see the final results. You should wait for a minimum of 1 year to see the outcome. Now, the shedded hair will come back and the result will start to be visible.

Parsa Mohebi, MD, FISHRS · Answer

6 months post op is early to determine final density of the transplanted hair. I would make an appointment with your surgeon around 8-12 months post op and in the interim i would consider medical therapy such as propecia to minimize shock loss and maintain native hair. I have attached a video on finasteride for you to review.
