Post-Transplant Expectations & Concerns:
Waiting for hair regrowth can be an anxious experience. Following the transplantation of hair follicles, hair regrowth occurs in about two to three months. However, new hair may not be visible above the scalp for an additional several months. Further delaying the visibility of results is the fact that only a portion of the transplants demonstrate regrowth initially.
While waiting for hair regrowth, remember that initial results may not indicate the success of the surgery. Continuous improvement should be seen for up to a year and a half following the procedure.
Hair regrowth will occur at different rates, from individual to individual. It is also normal for some patients to see what appears to be an imbalance in the areas of regrowth. For example, hair may appear fuller on one side of the head than the other. As regrowth continues, the distribution of the hair will soon appear more even.
During the early stages of the transplantation process, it is also important to keep in mind that the transplanted follicles will shed their hair before true hair regrowth occurs. Though this may seem to indicate that transplantation was unsuccessful, this shedding is a normal part of the process.
Wolf Medical has performed thousands of hair transplants, and we schedule post-op visits to help each patient manage their personal regrowth expectations. We are confident that with patience, you will be very satisfied with your new, fuller head of hair.
