severecrownloss

No way after a day or two. The pain reduces noticeably everyday, after the sutures are removed.

Sometimes it's just nice to be reassured that things are going along OK. The dulldrum period, as they say, is drawn out and the duration varies from person to person. You can start to question if things are really going as planned if you're not at or ahead of the curve.

 

I think month 3 is generally the period where things start to happen... key word is "start," because you won't necessarily be able to see it. By month 4-5 if you can't actually see noticeable peach fuzz then I think you're either a slow grower or may have a problem.

Spot on Rootz, thanks!!

I saw little until month 4. Even then it was just whispy hairs.

 

Hopefully you will see something by then but don't get disheartened if it takes a bit longer. You have to mentally prepare yourself for 6+ months and treat anything sooner as a bonus.

Many thanks 1978Matt!!

Agreed that you should be fully aware of the growth cycle, both by reading this board and the literature that your surgeon presumably provides in his post-op kit.

 

That said....at month 3, you may begin to notice some 'peach fuzz' forming. It wont be cosmetically significant by any means until at least a month or two later. Grafts in and around the hairline always grew in for me first. Months 5-8 tend to be the 'wow' months.

Well, as you can tell by my post count, I don't spend a lot of time on forums. I certainly didn't expect the type of answers received, and if you want to treat people like that, please don't post. I asked a simple question.

Thank you for the second part of your reply. That is exactly what I was wanting.

You already know the answer to your own question.

 

It would've been laid out in the post-op instructions given to you by the highly professional Dr. Konior and you would almost certainly have read many threads by people who've had hair transplant surgery on this forum before selecting that particular doctor.

Thank you so much for your kind & informative reply.

Exactly 3 months ago today I had my FUT, HT with Dr. Konior. My question is, when should I notice new growth? At this point I can't tell that I have anything new poking out. Is this unusual for the 3 month mark. Should I be able to feel them first, like little stubble, or see them first? The procedure went great but I am ready for results.

I am at the opposite end of the spectrum as you. I am 22 days post op & I don't think I have lost one little hair yet. I can feel them all & it feels like they are growing. I would think any day know they would start shedding.

mikeey, what's your take on a heart attack after eating breakfast? Google it, I heard it happened.

If you are a reasonable person, this would not be a reasonable question, considering your example happened in 2007.

Congrafts - Dr Konior is one of the very best. You chose very wisely.

Rest up and heal and grow well !

Thanks Spex!

Great to hear about your surgery . I can't thank Dr. Konior enough for what he has done for me .

Agreed. I felt like I had know them for years by the time I left yesterday.

Most professional & comfortable group I have ever been around.

Guys, I have no pictures. Dr. Konior and staff took all the pictures of me. I stayed three nights at the Comfort Suites and drove home this morning. Feeling fine. 2500 grafts I believe.

Trust me StaggerLee123, it did happen.

Just had my procedure yesterday. Can't say enough about how professional they are and what an easy experience it was. Waiting game is on now.

If I had this guys hair I would not have entertained joining this sight.

In his 50's and that is all of his hair loss? Wow, I would be ecstatic!

OMG, if you consider this severe loss on the crown, I would never come into your office.

This analysis is why most of us are too embarrassed to confront our issue and instead hide in the background. :confused:
