Senior Member Ceasar08 Posted June 11, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 11, 2009 In my case, things didn't get interesting until 7 1/2 months. Hang in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Hairtechnician Posted June 11, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hi Mrkneed, We usually tell patients that they can expect most of the hairs to have emerged by around 8-9 months, but that the hair gets thicker in caliber for up to a year. However, Dr. Keene and other doctors have noted that at times it can take slightly longer than a year for the hair to reach full growth/maturity in the crown. We have seen further growth in the crown even after the 1 year mark. We know that waiting after the surgery for the full growth is the toughest part of the surgery. How long did it take after your first surgery with a different doctor? That may give you some guidance. Of course, it helps to hear about other people's experiences as well, but I also just wanted to reassure you that it is typical for growth to occur for up to a year, and sometimes longer in the crown. I am a medical assistant and hair transplant surgical assistant employed by Dr. Keene Dr. Keene is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member chantal Posted June 11, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted June 11, 2009 I know how you feel. I'm also at the 6 month mark (surgery December 17th, 2008)...Hair is growing but for now there's not a huge difference from before...Dr Rahal told me to be patient because it could take up to a year.. We just have to be patient. Hang in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member aska Posted June 11, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 11, 2009 I'm in the same situation of Both of you. I'm 6 months out of my HT (surgery December 11th, 2008) and see some grow but, it's kinda immobile now. Let's wait to see what happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member fusion47 Posted June 12, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted June 12, 2009 I'm nearly at the 6 month mark as well. It looks like most, if not all, of the hairline hairs have sprouted and are about 2 inches or so long...they go back about 3.4 of an inch or so. Behind the hairline, the hairs are playing catch up. For those of you 1+ year post-op, did any of you experience the same growth pattern...hairline in first and slowly filling in towards the back later?

Senior Member MrJobi Posted June 13, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 13, 2009 What everyone needs to remember is at the 6 month mark you have "some" growth but the hairs are generally quite coarse as well which really doesn't give the result justice. After a year you will understand. Hang in there and hold all judgement.

Senior Member El Nino Posted June 14, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 14, 2009 Six months is still early. And for a crown transplant it is VERY early. My Hair Loss Website - Two HTs with Dr. Rahal and SMP at HIS Hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
