No Growth Months After My Hair Transplant — Am I a Slow Responder?

I had a transplant on 3.16.10. The crown and the left and right sides frontal. Went in for a 4 month check up and nothing has started to come in. I had no post operative issues. I was very careful for the 2 weeks post op with the grafts. Doctor said I am a slow responder and to come back at 7 months. I been on the internet and I see all these patients with growth at 4 months and I wondering If my procedure failed. I am getting panicky.

Don’t panic! Results from a hair transplant will usually be seen from 3 months all the way up to 7 months on average. The speed at which it grows has nothing to do with success of the surgery. The waiting is the hardest part… but you’re going to have to find the patience. If at month 7 you still see nothing, have a chat with your surgeon about that. Right now though, you have no reason to be worried about your transplant’s success or failure.
