Regular Member dsd Posted October 3, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted October 3, 2015 I had a transplant about 7 weeks ago and about 800 hairs were taken from my beard and transplanted on my crown and about 2800 transplant on my hairline. Just wondering would the growth rate differ from the transplanted hairline and also would there be a difference in growth rate thereafter after 18months etc when I have my normal haircuts?

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted October 5, 2015 Administrators Share Posted October 5, 2015 Yes the growth rate is different, typically the beard grows faster than the scalp, the telogen (rest) and anagen (growth) phase is different, I've heard some doctors say the characteristics change once transplanted to the scalp, but I don't believe that to be true.

Regular Member Kiran0078 Posted October 13, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted October 13, 2015 New hair growth will only break through the skin at three to four months after the procedure. However, it will take at least six to eight months for the new hair to make any significant cosmetic difference to your appearance. Although a full result may take as long as 18 months to be achieved, most will attain this at 12 to 14 months. Sometimes, a result may take longer to show when working with scars or filling in a previously transplanted area. It usually take the first post op review around 8 months, and explain that this is phase 1, and review again for a near full result at 1 year. There are many factors that can make the growth come sooner or much later, and patience is extremely important! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member dsd Posted October 14, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 14, 2015 So the hairline transplant will grow quicker (hair taken from back) compared to the top (hair from beard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
