How long post-op are a hair transplants results "baked in the cake"

Seems to be that fairly soon after a hair transplant is done perhaps 10 days perhaps sooner even 3 days? - that the results you can expect 6 months / 8 months / 12 months down the line are now already 'baked in the cake'  - in that the transplanted follicles have survived being out of the body for the period of the operation but once placed back in your body they were able to re-connect to blood supply in the scalp (or not) and they've now gone into a resting phase.

I see lots of folks 10 days post op taking supplements, doing this or that thinking that it will help have a better result. When in actual fact the result your gonna get is likely set in stone fairly quickly after your out of the operating room i.e. the hair follicles have been reconnected to the blood supply or they havent and all the MSM / biotin in the world isn't going to change that.

Sound fairly accurate?

Thanks - felt that was the case but great to get it confirmed. Feel this board and others allows a forum where alot of folks can over-think their post op period a little too much........what shampoo, what supplements, conditioner, no conditioner

When real story is that 72 hours post op - each graft transplanted either 'made it' and is happily alive in your scalp or didnt and you'll find out in 12 months
