Senior Member options Posted June 16, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hi, Could people share their experiences of when their newly transplanted hairs grew? I'm post-op day 7 now and my non-transplanted hair has grown since being buzzed down, but the transplanted hairs haven't. Is this an indication of the transplant not working? Should they grow, then shed, then be dormant, then grow permanently? Is this the correct order? If there is no initial growth after the operation, does this mean anything? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted June 16, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2015 Your newly grafted hair will fall out over the next few weeks.this is normal. Some people will not have a total shed though some grafts can remain and start To grow. You will start to see them regrow as fine wispy hairs after say approx 3 months Or more. They will get thicker over the next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted June 16, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2015 I'm concerned that your ht surgeon did not inform you of what will happen next! Did they give you post op care instructions !? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member gillenator Posted June 18, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 18, 2015 Sometimes newly implanted grafts will remain in the growth phase momentarily and continue to grow, however as time passes, they will shed and enter dormancy, rest for 3-4 months and then enter the growth phase once again.

Senior Member pkipling Posted June 19, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 19, 2015 You really can't expect any new growth until the 3rd month, at the earliest. I kept my hair shaved down for the first 3 months for the exact situation you described... The native hairs were growing back in and the transplanted hairs still had several months to go before they would start growing. I found my receding hairline was more noticeable this way, so I kept it all really short until month 3 when my transplanted hairs started coming back in. This allowed everything to grow in nice and even. I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA.
