My Hair Stopped Growing 4 Months After My Transplant

Dr,

It’s exactly 6 months since my hair transplant. I have plenty of hair that came through at month 4 but it hasn’t changed for 2 months! It’s the same weak, whispy hair that looks awful. I was hoping the transplanted hairs would match my forelock but no luck.

Why is it taking so long?

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 may be losing your non-transplanted hair in the area where the transplant was done as a natural progression of balding (which has nothing to do with surgery). You will learn much over the next couple of months. In the meantime, you should follow up with your doctor.
