How long does it take to recover from hair transplant surgery?
The average recovery time from Hair Transplant Surgery is 3-5 days. Twenty four hours after the procedure, we have you back at the clinic for a thorough shampoo and cleansing, and after that, you are able to shampoo yourself. The tiny scabs that appear will denude within the next 2-3 days and by day 5 post-op, you are looking pretty normal. Many people elect to return to work 2 days after the procedure and wear a scalp make-up that hides the graft area. 2. Will people know I had a hair transplant? People will recognize that you had a transplant for the initial 3-5 days post-op. After that period, you appear quite normal. As the hair begins to grow in 4-5 months, the result is a gradual growth which ultimately thickens over the next year. It is then that people will think that you lost weight, or look younger, etc. without pinpointing the actual reason. This is always a gradual change. 3.When will the newly transplanted hair start to grow? The newly transplanted hair will begin to grow
In a day, the bandages will be removed during a follow-up visit. By the first week the sutures should be completely healed and the grafts naturally in place. To achieve desired results, more hair transplant procedures may be necessary with a buffer of a few months between sessions to allow for healing.
