Senior Member Cam Simmons MD ABHRS Posted September 15, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted September 15, 2009 This 28-year-old man with a Norwood 3 pattern had his hair transplant in 2007. He had fine hair but also had more 3-haired follicular units than average. These photos are from his ???most recent??? visit in 2007 at 5 months after his hair transplant. In an email this week, he wrote that he was ???still very pleased??? with his hair transplant but that he is also still too busy to come in for a follow-up visit. Almost all patients shed the majority of their transplanted hair and wait months for the hair to grow back. We wait a year before judging the final results. Every once in awhile, someone ???gets lucky??? and does not shed much transplanted hair and gets earlier growth like this man. I did not see him but, if he is like other patients with early growth, he probably had close to his final results at 8 months. He did not use Minoxidil (or laser or PRP) but did start Proscar on the day of his hair transplant and has continued to take it. It would be nice to figure out why occasional patients get early growth but it is still a mystery to me.

I am sure that he hopes the Proscar will delay that appointment for a long time.
