Senior Member Teddw2ds Posted September 10, 2003 Senior Member Share Posted September 10, 2003 Okay, I'm currently at 5 weeks post-op, and much of my transplanted hair has shed, so I thought I would be just waiting around for a few months to start seeing regrowth. Imagine my surprise this morning when I looked in the mirror closely (I haven't done this in a while since I didn't expect there to be anything to see) and found the beginnings of regrowth. Has anyone else experienced this so early on? Everything I've read says at least 3 months, and more like 4 - 6 months before the transplanted hairs start coming back in. I guess I should also note that I have been using Rogaine since after the 2nd week. Dr. Rose's post-op care instructions indicated that this could speed the regrowth process, but I didn't think it would be that dramatic. Granted, they are not thick and bushy, but they are definitely breaking through the surface. I've spotted maybe a dozen or so after I started looking real closely!!! Perhaps my wait will not be so insufferable after all. Tedd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Teddw2ds Posted September 10, 2003 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 10, 2003 Thanks Jo. I won't get my expectations up too much, then, but it was still really exciting to make this "discovery" It's funny now long a few months can seem, huh?
