Waiting for your hair transplant to grow can be both exciting and demoralizing at the same time. On the one hand, you can't wait to see the hairs sprout and to start feeling like yourself again. On the other hand, you're not seeing the growth come fast enough.
#1 Stop comparing yourself to others It's easy to go online and see guys who look completely transformed in a few months while you're still looking bald as ever, or maybe even worse than you did before surgery.
#2 Hair Follicles are independent Not all of your hair will grow at the same rate or even have the same texture as your native hair. It can take up to 18 months for your hair transplant to mature and settle.
#3 Get Support Wouldn't it be great if there was a place where you could go and see hair transplant experiences and see firsthand accounts of men and women going through the same journey? Well, this place does exist. It's called the hair restoration network—https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/ created by and for patients. The hair restoration network is the best place to research surgeons, learn about the process of hair transplant surgery and a perfect place to compare notes with other hair transplant patients.
Right now is the time to submit as many virtual consultations as possible. You can use our link to submit consultations to the surgeons that have been reviewed and approved by the forum. Remember, no list is ever definitive, do your research.
