Senior Member AnalogFeel Posted December 30, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted December 30, 2018 most people say they start seeing growth around 4 month mark how many people here have seen all their growth between 6-12 months? Is it super unusual for it to start taking that long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Leftwithrope Posted December 30, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted December 30, 2018 Unless your hair grew immediately after the transplant and shed around the 3 month mark, you should see sprouts coming in at the 3-4 months mark. The telogen phase of hair is about 3 months so there shouldn't be any reason why you aren't seeing sprouts at 6 months, unless it was like what I mentioned above. Seriously, talk to your doctor about this and consider making arrangements to salvage your situation. At 6 months, a good number of patients will have a majority of their hairs sprout, albeit still rather immature. From your previous posts, it seems like you've blown a considerable amount of donor on your procedure. I understand that you're desperate for assurance now but practically speaking, you should start planning as if your transplant is a failed one if you want to not go crazy over it. Either a second transplant or try hair systems (I'm wearing a clip-on system to tide me over till my transplanted hairs gain length, and it's phenomenal bruh). I feel your pain brother.

The last thing on face of the earth I want to do is another surgery and especially another surgery with him. Doctor Richard Keller in deerfield.

Get bloodwork done to figure out if it's an issue with your body. It's not impossible that it's an issue of surgical skill, but if it's as bad as you said, then I'm highly inclined to think that it's not entirely his fault. Give it a month or two maximum and then the issue persists, you can consider more drastic measures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero history of any diseases in my family also Lmfao. I'm Asian and didn't start balding until I started weightlifting and going on bulk/cut cycles. I completely stopped shedding after I ended a pretty horrific cut cycle and my hair haa been the same then. It doesn't mean jackshit if you bench 2x bw in the gym bruh. Increasing PRs every week while being on a cut was a huge stressor on my body and I can see why it could have hastened the onset of MPB. If you want to confront your doctor about your issue, it's best if you have data to show you're healthy, no? Relatively inexpensive and potentially helpful, so why not?

Most patients and doctors agree that the crown grows later than the frontal areas though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member SBSinNYC Posted December 30, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted December 30, 2018 If you intend to sue the doctor, you will need to make the case that he did something wrong. A poor result if his other patients have adequate results is not very convincing. A judge or jury would probably just shrug. Tough break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even 50% yield in crown should make a huge difference considering thickness of my hair texture 50% yield is absolutely terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MohanSingh Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Usually it takes around 3-4 months for hair growth after hair transplant. But every person is different from one other so in some rare case it may take more than 4 months. there's nothing to be worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
