So this is an important question. You want to stop worrying knowing that your results are moving in the right direction. If your hair grows, you will notice tiny bumps on the surface of the skin where the hair follicles try to break and grow.
When do I see my results?
From six months onwards your hair starts to grow and you will see 70% of your transplanted hair grow back. In nine months you have a higher density in the transplanted areas. You need to feel positive now. Twelve months after surgery you should see a great improvement and complete results. There is still a 5% improvement in your growth.
Eighteen months after the surgery you can now see all your transplanted hair.
I can not see my results and it is almost a year after surgery what to do?
If you can not see your results at all and it is almost a year after surgery, unfortunately, something went wrong. Hair implantation occurs. You should contact your surgeon to discuss why the surgery did not deliver the promised results. If you have had surgery abroad or your surgeon cannot contact you, the next best thing to do is arrange a consultation with a reputable surgeon such as Dr. Malkani. It will give you honest advice about your current position. He will also advise on all options, including correcting the failed operation. This may or may not be possible, depending on how much hair is left in your donor area.
My hair does not grow after hair transplant surgery What if the hair implant does not work?
A failed transplant is very annoying, but there are always other options available. We at our clinic are pleased to advise all patients on any areas of concern or concern for hair growth.
We perform body hair implants for those suitable patients who do not have enough donor’s hair.
In addition to transplants, we can use a variety of other methods to treat hair loss. The ideal method for you will depend on the degree and type of hair loss you are experiencing, your general health, and other factors.
