Expected Hair growth after 17 Weeks of hair transplant

[bmasum]

Can someone confirm expected hair follicle growth in terms of percent after 17 weeks of hair transplant. I did my hair transplant (Strip method for 3550 grafts) during last week of July at renowned Hair restoration Clinic in MN (USA), however I am not seeing hair density increase in top and crown area after the procedure. Moreover I have been using 1 mg finastride and with Rogain (Morning) and Lipogain (Evening) but do not see much difference. Prompt response will be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks

From what I've seen on this forum and elsewhere on the web, and from my own experience, the answer is--it varies. The transplanted hair should be in the early phases of growing, but there is no way to tell but wait

Thanks abcd0000. Can someone else share hair growth experience after 18-20 weeks of hair transplant. I can wait but I am worried and feel that something went wrong with my procedure. I almost paid $12500 few months ago.

I have seen a lot off cases where the difference on 4 and 8 months is shocking. You should be at the beginning of a growth phase so hang in there. The fun should be just starting.

Bmasum,

 

17 weeks is roughly the 4 month mark, which equates to approximately 20% maturation. In other words: Very little growth. At this point in time, the grafts are generally still thin and "wispy," and it really isn't too useful to stress about growth and yield yet. Like a few others stated, you will continue to see growth and maturation up until the 12 month mark. After 1 year, the grafts should be 100% matured and you can assess the results at this point.

 

Good luck!

Thanks for quick response. I will wait and come back with result after few months. I really appreciate it.
