wizow Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Hi Guys, when is it appropriate to become seriously concerned about the outcome of the hairtransplant? From which month on do you think it is very unlikely that there will be a hairy miracle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Britanium Posted April 15, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted April 15, 2021 I think you can tell by month 9/10 approx. There may be signs before that but the growth timeline can differ so much. Poor work can be seen early on. Are you worried about your own result ? If so can you give some more details ? Or even pics ? Thanks 🙏 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizow Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 I already see a difference in the hair as it looks now compared to before. Pictures I do not want to share, because I do not feel comfortable. Please understand. It just still looks patchy. Near hairline I see a gap that torments me. I am in 6th month postop and heading towards 7th month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted April 15, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) You have at least another 5/6 months for things to improve. Full results are not seen until at least month 12. But Can continue to improve beyond and up to month 18. Which clinic did you go too ? Did you have FUT or FUE ? How many grafts etc ? Thanks 🙏 Edited April 15, 2021 by JohnAC71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted April 15, 2021 Administrators Share Posted April 15, 2021 Don’t worry until month 9, that’s enough time even for slow growers. Context matters though, if you’re 90% satisfied by month 9 give it till 18 months. If you’re not satisfied at all, give it till month 9. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Agree with 9 months 4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013 1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018 763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020 Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in 6th month postop and heading towards 7th month. If you're an 18-month grower then you'd currently be in your 4.3 months of growth, and not 6 to 7 months. I derive at that number since you say you're about 6.5 months into your transplant. 6.5 months/18 months = 0.3611. 0.3611 * 12 months = 4.33 months. 4 1/3 months is still way too early to guage a transplant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
