Most patients would have slight to moderate edema in the transplanted area immediately after surgery. The swelling usually disappears after one week.
Erythema is present after the surgery but decreases gradually over time. In most case the redness is not noticeable after 2-4 weeks.
It falls off after 1-2 weeks, facilitated by the use of olive oil.
After the transplanted hair graft is taken and survives, the process may continue with one of the following scenarios:
After the hair falls out a new hair will begin to grow 2–4 weeks later. By the 6th month most of the recipient area shows new hair growth. As hairs within a single follicular unit can have different hair cycles: some hair grew and some fell out. It is unpredictable but seems to be helped by the use of Minoxidil as adjuvant therapy.
After the procedure it takes 4 months for the hair to wake up from the resting phase (Telogen), and expect some shedding of the transplanted hair at this stage; After 4 months hair starts to grow at 1cm per month. It usually takd 12 to 18 months to se the final result.
Hair transplant works by relocating healthy hair follicles to thinning or balding areas. While the procedure itself is completed in a day, the real changes take place in the months that follow. Before undergoing a hair transplant, it’s important to understand that results don’t happen overnight — they unfold gradually over time.
With patience, proper care, and expert surgical technique, what begins as a medical procedure evolves into a natural-looking, lasting restoration of confidence and hair.
In the first month after your hair transplant, you might notice some shedding of the transplanted hair, a phenomenon known as “shock loss.” This is completely normal and indicates that the hair follicles are settling into their new environment.
During this time, the scalp continues to heal, and it’s essential to avoid touching the grafts or using harsh hair products. Gentle washing and adherence to prescribed medications are crucial for ensuring a smooth recovery.
By the third month, visible hair growth may still be minimal, leading some patients to feel concerned about the progress. This period can be challenging, but it is important to remain patient as the transplanted follicles are in the process of establishing themselves.
The early stages of new hair growth are often not yet apparent, but the foundation for future growth is being laid. A positive mindset and a healthy diet can support the ongoing development of the hair follicles during this waiting period.
Around the fifth month, you’ll begin to see the early signs of new hair growth. These new hairs may initially appear fine and thin, but this is just the beginning. The hairs will gradually thicken as they continue to grow, providing the first visible signs of progress.
This stage marks an exciting turning point, as the transplanted hair starts to blend more naturally with your existing hair, giving you a glimpse of the final results to come.
By the seventh month, significant improvements in hair density and texture become noticeable. The new hair will become more robust and begin to fill in the previously thinning or balding areas, contributing to a fuller appearance.
This is a time to start considering styling options that suit your new look, as the hair is now strong enough to handle gentle grooming and regular trims. The transformation becomes more apparent, offering a boost in confidence and satisfaction.
At the nine-month mark, the transplanted hair continues to improve in both thickness and density. The new growth is now blending seamlessly with the existing hair, providing a natural and fuller appearance.
This stage represents a significant milestone in the hair restoration journey, as the results are becoming more defined and substantial. Regular hair care routines and trims will help maintain the health and appearance of your hair as you approach the final phase.
By the twelfth month, the full results of your hair transplant should be evident. The new hair will have grown in thick and dense, giving you a natural, satisfying appearance that blends seamlessly with your existing hair.
This is the culmination of the year-long journey, and it’s time to celebrate the transformation. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and continuing regular follow-ups with your surgeon will help ensure that the results are long-lasting and continue to meet your expectations.
