New hair growth

[aguafria]

hello,

 

I had 4200 grafts done with dr path in bangkok in November

And after my scabs came off , I had what resembled a buzz cut for about 2 weeks,

But they basically all fell out. Which is what I expected .

 

However, it now being 2 months later, I'm seeing new growth , albeit sparse

That's a good 3 or 4cm long.

 

Is this to be expected at this early stage ?

 

I expected it to only start showing at around 4 months.

Yep that's how it starts and then gets thicker

Great stuff .

 

I kept reading about a 2 month shed, so I wasn't sure if this new growth was here to stay.

Sounds like your definitely ahead of what most individuals experience...

I think gillenator , had earlier stated at 4 Months , the growth just starts .

I dunno if he meant that the hair will start piercing the skin or the hair will gain in size and make itself visible .

Please clarify this Gill ... as you are very well versed in this topic !

Yes, just to clarify, for most individuals the new growth just begins to break through the surface of the scalp at 3-4 months post-op. Obviously there are some exceptions for early bloomers as well as late bloomers.

 

But the whole premise behind this is that a high percent of transplanted follicles go into the dormant stage for an average of three months and then enter the growth phase.
