Transplant growth spurts


Recommended Posts

  • Senior Member

So I heard when a transplant starts growing it does so in spurts, and not evenly.

First spurt around 3 to 4 months, 2nd spurt around 6 months and a final 3rd spurt around the 9-month mark.

Is this true or not??

Did you get more then 3 growth spurts or less??

Or was it exactly 3??

I would say so, I had the 3/4 months initial growth then 6/7, then  some at 8/9 months and actually I’ve felt a few new hair “pop” here and there even now at 10.5 months which is probably the mentioned 10%  growth til the 1year mark.

Okay thanks, that helps me a lot!

I had my 3-month growth spurt already, and now I see my 6-month coming through.

Thats good news because I already have decent coverage from #1 and I still have 2 more spurts yet to fully come through and mature.  That makes me a happy camper 🙂

You’re welcome!

Who was your surgeon? How many grafts did you get? Have a progress thread?

I'll post before/after pics when I'm at the 12-month mark.

I got approximately another 7 months of growing left

Sounds good, but if your progress is going as good as you expect it or better before 12-months, do consider posting before then as it could be helpful to others looking for help and doing research. 🙂
