Regular Member leica Posted March 31, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted March 31, 2008 Greetings everyone, I'm six weeks past surgery and very happy with the results. I have a few questions though. Currently I've retained nearly half the transplanted hair. Is there a chance that I will lose anymore hair even more than two months post surgery? Also when should i expect to see any signs of the new hair? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member PLEASE GROW PLEASE Posted March 31, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted March 31, 2008 You might be one of the lucky ones and keep the transplants that are still holding on. You can expect initial growth between month 3-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Janna Posted March 31, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted March 31, 2008 leica, Unfortunately, you can still shed your transplanted hairs well into 2 months post surgery. New signs of growth vary with each person, but the average seems to be around 3 three months post op. Don't be alarmed if you go past this mark as this is only an average. It's going to be hard waiting and I've heard the 3-4 month mark is the hardest. Grow well!

Bill - Seemiller Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Leica, Thanks for the update. As Janna said, shedding of the transplanted hair can still occur and it most likely will. On a rare occasion, a few patients may keep some or even a good portion of the transplanted hair, but I wouldn't expect this. Keep us posted on your progress.
