RSS FeedHair Transplant Growth Timeline ConfusionPosted by doctorwong on May 31st, 2010
Two and half months after my second hair transplant 70-80% of grafts are above the scalp in various sizes but nothing in my 8 mm wide hairline where 700 single hair where implanted at the density of 40 per cm2. Only about 20 hair grew from the beginning on hairline edge (better blood supply ?). What cold be the reason for such a different growth or now growth? Will my 700 singles grow and how it will progress. Second spontanic growth or slow and progresive.I do not have much time left, by 3 and half month all grafts should be above the scalp.
I am also confused by your website transplants timeline definition. In my opinion grafts start to grow from 6 weeks and from 3th month you see visible growth noticed by others. If you do not have hair above the scalp at 3.5 month only very small percentage might grow later. Most people will have lots of hair above the scalp at third month.
Doctor, what would be your grafts timeline if by growth we define hair projecting itself above the scalp not the the length, thickness etc ? — J.
Hello J. Thanks for writing. Growth rates vary from patient to patient. General guidelines assume growth at around the 4 month mark. Some patients see growth as early as 2.5 months, some not until closer to 5 months. The singles may come in at a different rate than the bigger grafts and the crown can lag behind the front by a few weeks or months.
At this stage it is too early to be concerned about growth. Things should be taking nice shape around the 5 month mark and improve from there. It is for this reason we prefer not to see patients before around the 8 month mark post-op. If you have any questions that aren’t answered here, please contact Hasson & Wong.
