Hi Dr. Rassman, I went for a strip procedure 6 months ago. My doc placed 2500 grafts in the front third of my scalp. I’m seeing some good growth but it’s still pretty thin. Is it fair to say that I can expect another 50% growth at this point? Your feedback will be very much appreciated…
Of course, knowing what you look like would help. Your doctor is your best source. Generally speaking, growth starts between 2-5 months and then grows at about 1/2 inch/month. Hair comes in “waves” so you should see increasing numbers of hair and length over the first 8 months (at which time you should have 80-90% of the growth).
