How Long Until Transplants Grow?
How long does it take for the transplants to grow?
I generally tell my patients to wait a full 8 months to have 80-90% of the impact of growth on stylable hair. Hair grows about 1/2 inch per month and as transplants often do not start until 3-5 months after the surgery, growth can be calculated from that point. For those hairs that start to grow at 5 months, they will be 1 1/2 inches at 8 months, while those that started at 3 months will be 2 1/2 inches long. Usually a person has a combination of the two. On less frequent occasions, about one in twenty people have instant growth of all of their transplants.
In good hands, however, growth will always occur. I hope that answers your questions.
