Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted February 7, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted February 7, 2023 Your post result shows a thicker forelock than your pre op pic. Always take pics in the same lighting to get a truer comparison. I would give it more time too.

Regular Member Capelli3000 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 7, 2023 I did not take any medications before the surgery. Now i'm on propecia and rogaine 5% and I've had an improvement in my native hair: that's why I have a thicker forelock. To tell the truth some hair has sprouted around the fourth month. But then nothing, that's why I'm sure it's a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Capelli3000 Posted February 11, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 11, 2023 Hi everyone guys. It's true that I'm really close to 6 months but from one day to another these dots have started to appear, then when I pass my finger I feel many spiky hair follicles underneath. Maybe it's not the last word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahal Hair Transplant Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 @Capelli3000, Hair transplant growth typically doesn’t even begin until 3 to 5 months after the date of the procedure. So the fact that you are not seeing any growth at this stage is completely normal. When hair growth does begin, it will typically start by growing in fine, thin and colorless and over the next several months will thicken, dark and mature. It takes up to 12 to 18 months to fully grow in. I hope this helps Rahal Hair Transplant Rahal Hair Transplant Institute - Answers to questions, posts or any comments from this account should not be taken or construed as medical advice.

I initially opened it because I was concerned about my lack of growth at 3 months (hence the title), but now I'm close to six months and nothing has changed.

Rahal Hair Transplant Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 @Capelli3000, I know you’ve already received a number of replies however, please keep in mind that hair transplant growth typically doesn’t even begin until between 3 to 5 months postop. In other words, you have absolutely nothing to be concerned about if you haven’t seen any growth at three months after your hair transplant. While newly transplanted hair only begins to grow between 3 to 5 months, it takes up to 12 to 18 months to fully thicken, darken and mature. Therefore, while I think it’s a good idea to take monthly photos of your scout for comparison purposes when you look back, You have a long way to go before you see your final result. At this point, you’re barely in the beginning phases. I hope this helps.

I opened the thread 3 months ago, and so the title I chose (3 months ago) is "My hair transplant after 3 months". However, today it has been almost 6 months (175 days) since my hair transplant, and there is still no growth. After six months, I think I should be a little worried.

Regular Member Capelli3000 Posted February 21, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 21, 2023 Hi guys, today I saw the surgeon and he also seemed very worried about the lack of hair growth. However, he assures me that the final result can be seen at 12 months, and if the hair does not grow by then, he offers to perform another surgery. What would you do in my case? Would you accept another surgery? Keep in mind that I am not wealthy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel sorry for what you have gone through ....sometimes even with the best of an effort from doctor the outcome is negative and tht is the risk involved with evry surgery as there are so many factors affecting the outcome and not just the skills of a doctor .... Bt its good tht he is taking responsibility and offering you a surgery but before taking any decision i would suggest you to please know the actual reason behind the failed surgery ..cause if you have some scalp issues or any other medical issue than even the next surgery would get negative outcome even if you go with the same doctor or any other doctor.... So plz do all the check ups related to scalp and other physical tests and thn decide on next surgery 1 Check Out My Hair Transplant Journey --> My Thread 3611 FUE Grafts With Dr Kongkiat Laorwong | Norwood 5 | 2nd May 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Amiele Posted February 22, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted February 22, 2023 @Capelli3000 If it was me, I’d want to give the grafts all the help possible, so have you considered getting a prescription for oral minoxidil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted February 22, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted February 22, 2023 I consider three months to be the beginning of hair growth so for three months post ugly duck those hairs are beginning to sprout. I had hair popping up post hair transplant one up until month eleven - twelve.
