Senior Member ITA Posted December 17, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted December 17, 2021 If the area treated in your second transplant is the same as the one treated in the first, it may take a little longer than in the first transplant as regrowth in a scar area is slower than regrowth on a scalp virgin. Anyway, if you want to post some photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Win88 Posted December 17, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 17, 2021 I'll post pics after I talk to my doc and see what he thinks. Some of the area was worked on before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, if you want to post some photos. In my own personal experience with follow-up surgeries on previously operated areas, the hair growth timeline was exactly the same as the original surgery. @Win88 Only seeing 10% growth at month 6 is a red flag. Perhaps a miracle will happen and a sh*t ton of growth will occur in the coming months, but its unlikely.

Senior Member gillenator Posted December 17, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted December 17, 2021 So it was the same surgeon that did your previous procedure?…how many grafts was the first one and how many on this one?

Rahal Hair Transplant Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) Win88, While most hair transplant patients experience a good deal of growth at six months postop, every patient is different. Moreover, subsequent hair transplants can grow in slower than previous ones. Believe it or not, because each doctor possesses their own unique technique, the overall growth process and timeline can be impacted by the hair transplant clinic, I believe you said you were going to speak with your surgeon. What was their response? Also, I recommend posting some photos of your hair before from your second procedure and now as we will be able to give you some better feedback.
