Propecia is great to take to prevent shock loss, but it doesn’t necessarily guarantee regrowth of the hair you had previously. I would expect it to hold the remaining hair and protect from shock loss, though. The transplant growth will start coming in at 4-5 months and maximize after 8-12 months. That is the way […]

I want to know what I would look like after surgery (typical look). For instance, what impact will the surgery have on my appearance at various intervals after the surgery, especially since we are talking about grafts to the front that everyone will see when I meet them. I am also concerned that if I […]
This is the result of 3200 grafts from his first surgery, the second on his crown of 2200 more grafts about 2 months ago is now yet to grown out. He was thrilled this morning when he saw that he had to do something about all of that hair. So he combed it back and […]
The Post: After Hair Transplants, many doctors ignore patients’ questions – why? was followed on Reddit where it was posted initially with the following responses. I think that my point was understood. Comment 1: Yes I totally agree. I had a good transplant so I am ok and don’t had much to complain about (post […]
The crusts that you had clearly must have pulled out your grafts during their critical period when they were being secured in their recipient sites. If the crusting remains, the grafts are not secure for up to 12 days after the surgery and any attempts to pick off the crusts have the risk of pulling out […]
It seems that you are concerned about growth. At seven months, you still might expect to see more growth. I always tell my patients that at eight months you should see 80% of the growth to styling length. I doubt that this is going to happen, but you should wait another month or two. PRP will not make […]
No, Dandruff is common and more pronounced after a hair transplant because skin turns over more frequently (skin shedding). If you are concerned about the growth and you are at least eight months since the surgery, then go back and speak with your doctor comparing your expectations to your doctor’s expectations.
Minoxidil is known to cause shedding in the initial use. It is not comparable to trauma. The hair should come back and start reversing from the short term loss within 2 or so months. The various acids in the 82M or other similar medications generally cause the scalp irritation, dryness and flaking. The basic theory […]
There are some misconceptions in your question. FUE is not the treatment of choice. FUE is a great alternative to strip surgery since it does not leave a linear scar. FUE leaves thousands of 1mm circle dot scars. Patients who have FUE over strip are the ones who want to keep their hair very short […]
It it generally thought that ACell will help the healing process deep in the wound and possibly reduce the superficial scarring, thereby making better wounds. There is circumstantial evidence for this in our practice, but this is more conjecture than science. I have not seen that ACell has helped the graft healing or made it […]
There is no problem with drinking coffee or taking Vicodin (hydrocodone/acetaminophen) following a hair transplant. Once the pain is gone, I generally tell patients to switch to Motrin or Advil (ibuprofen) for pain relief.
It may depend on what your doctor did during the surgery. I would follow up with your surgeon. If the growth is equal in numbers of hairs, you probably will see the two sides equalize over the next month or two. It’s important to note that once hair starts growing, it grows at about 1/2 […]
I don’t have a recommendation for you. Some doctors or medical clinics promote low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to increase hair growth, but we believe that it does not work. We haven’t seen the results to back up the claims. It’s one way for generating revenue for doctors with the power of the MD behind it.
At 10 months following your hair transplant, you should definitely see growth. Unless I am misreading your question, if you had five procedures that totaled under 3000 grafts, that is not today’s standard of care… however, I can not judge what your doctor was doing. I’m not even sure what kind of surgery you had […]
Maybe it was a bad hair transplant. Maybe you still have have to wait 6 more months. I do not know. You may see results as early as 2 months and as late as 18 months. In general, it takes 6-10 months to see results from a hair transplant. You also must consider that you […]
