The recovery process and the length of time for optimal results from hair transplantation will vary from patient to patient, most individuals will usually begin to see the initial effects within about four months following the procedure. With that in mind, there are some general things you should know so you will have an idea of what to expect after surgery. You might lose all of your hair if you have had several procedures done at once. There are many different ways to treat hair loss, including medications, laser treatments, and hair transplants.

After the grafting procedure, the donor hairs will start growing back. This is a completely normal process and should not cause any concern. Once the procedure is done on the areas of thinning hair or baldness, they will eventually fall out. Please remember that this is a completely normal event – the transplanted hairs are essentially in a state of shock following the surgery, and this is a natural part of the regrowth process. Once this has occurred, the follicles enter a “resting” stage for about three months. After this period, they should begin the new growth cycle and gradually get longer and longer.


While they may appear a bit uneven in these beginning stages, the transplanted hair should essentially be growing normally enough to be ready for an initial progress evaluation by the fifth or sixth month following surgery. Keep in mind that the best results may not be apparent until a full 12 to 18 months after the hair restoration procedure, and Dr. Tina Ramachander may even recommend some needed solutions or prescribed medicines to enhance the effects and reduce the chance of any further hair loss.
