Hair Growth After Hair Transplantation Surgery

Hair Transplantation is now becoming a prominent solution for hair thinning that is leading to baldness.
These procedures will always involve a certain amount of time for recovery, healing, and growth of the
new hairs. But many patients are anxious about how long it takes for the hair to regrow, which is
becoming the most commonly asked question while they come for a consultation in our Radiance
clinic. As hair growth after transplantation varies from person to person, this can be best explained
by our Hair Transplant Surgeon in Delhi.




As hair transplant is a surgical procedure in which hair follicles are extracted from donor’s scalp where
there is strong and permanent hair. These are transferred to areas of baldness. The two methods of
harvesting the donor's hair are:
  • Strip or FUT(Follicular Unit Transplantation) method
This is also known as strip method as a  single “strip” or piece of skin from the back & sides of
the head is removed and then dissected it under microscopes to produce individual follicular
unit grafts usually consisting of 1 to 4 hairs.
  • Follicular Unit Extraction
In this method, a dissection process is carried out directly from the scalp using a small punch
device, in which less than 1mm circular punch is created to extract the follicular units using
fine forceps.


Hair Growth Cycle after FUE hair transplantation

After getting the hair transplant procedure done, the hard part is, of course, waiting for results.
You might be able to notice your initial hairline, but it takes a little long way to reap the benefits of
the final outcome. As everyone’s hair and its growth rate massively vary a lot, there might be a
delay in growth but the crucial thing to remember is your hair is still growing. Hair growth usually
happens in the following phases after transplantation.
  • The anagen phase is the hair’s active growth period, where cells in follicle bulb rapidly divide
causing average hair growth of 1 cm in every month.
  • 90% of your hair remains in this phase and if they are healthy and strong, they stay as long as
2 to 7 years.
  • After its active growth period, the hair switches to catagen phase, a transitional period where
growth stops.


The timeline of hair growth



Generally, the hair growth is observed within 6 to 12 months of time. However uniform hair growth is
not seen in both sides of the head. Some amount of hair fall also occurs after the transplant procedure.
The following timeline is observed.
1- 6 days post-operation
In this period, immediately after surgery, you can experience mild swelling in the forehead. Also, mild
blood clots and redness on the area of surgery is seen.
10-14 days post-operation
The Shedding of hair begin to occur and this is a very common thing to happen initially.
1-3 months post-operation
Within 1-3 months time, you will see a few new hair strands stimulating to grow in your scalp. However,
they don’t grow evenly but attains growth eventually. The new hair strands are thin initially, as time
progresses they thicken. During this phase, acne begins to form which is temporary and is a positive
sign of new growth.
5-6 months post-operation
The new hair lengthens up to 2 to 3 inches and hair stem thickens at this time.
8-10 months post-operation
You can get to see impressive results within 8-10 months time after the transplantation where hair
transforms to be longer and thicker.
1-year post-operation
After one year you can see full results to your satisfaction. The transplanted hair acquires some textural
changes and grows more healthy and strong.


At the outset, it takes its own time for the natural hair growth to happen after transplantation. It is better
not to get disheartened if you don’t observe immediate hair growth. Instead, make an appointment with
Dr. Mayank Singh for a consultation in our Best Hair Transplant Clinic in Delhi.
