Senior Member Spaceguy Posted November 12, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 12, 2021 As i see on many succesful patients after scrabs are gone 7-14 days post op there is a nice temporary growth of transplanted hair. Is it a rule of surviving grafts? What about grafts that don't show temporary growth, will they survive? I have some grafts with temporary growth and some with less or no temporary growth, will they survive, is it any kind of surgery succes indication?

Senior Member LaserCaps Posted November 12, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 12, 2021 Sometimes the hair can grow from the get-go. This just means you are 3 months ahead of everybody else. The hair will fall however. It will then take about 3 months for the hair to start coming in. It will strengthen at 6 months, but it truly takes 12+ months to mature, (unless you do PRP with the procedure. PRP tends to produce faster results). The fact that this can happen, in itself, means nothing. This will have no bearing on the survival rate of the work. Patient Consultant for Dr. Arocha at Arocha Hair Restoration.

Understand that, i was asking if there is no temporary growth on hair immediately in days post op does that means grafts are dead? I know shedding happens in the following weeks but this is something else....for example 10 grafts have that post op temporary growth of 1-4mm (before shedding) and 3 grafts have no growth at all....does that means those 3 grafts are dead?

Senior Member gillenator Posted November 12, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 12, 2021 They are not dead, they are just resting in the dormant phase…then, after resting 3-4 months, they begin a new growth phase. 1 Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.
