Senior Member augustya Posted November 21, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 21, 2013 is this a common phenomenon, that after getting a Hair Transplant done one side of hair grows faster and the other side just does not grow or is really slow ? Like the Left side growing faster and the right side does not !! How commonly does this happen ? is it a cause of concern or worry ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Cant decide Posted November 21, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 21, 2013 This is very very common. I and many others on here have experienced the same thing. No worries.

Senior Member irishsailor Posted November 21, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 21, 2013 It's all very common, my left side was lagging behind, took about 6 months to start evening itself out.

Senior Member Jotronic Posted November 23, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 23, 2013 This is one of the more common issues that patients ask about. It usually evens out with time, normally about 10 to 12 months.

Senior Member gillenator Posted November 27, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted November 27, 2013 It certainly is not abnormal for the slower growth. Some guys have told me that they applied minoxidil to the slower growth area and had good results. Others have told me that some of their native hair was shocked out from the minoxidil. But coming this far, my recommendation is to give it more time because the regrowth will happen and eventually catch up. Time alone can work wonders...
