Managing Patient Expectations After Hair Transplant

Posted by Sarah Sweetz Akhza On 4:05 PM

Here's a great example of why managing patient expectations is really important. Per this picture, I'm seeing my regular hair growing out pretty fast. But the transplant area (and other thin areas) aren't growing out as fast or as dense.

Some people are saying, "dude your transplant didn't work." But Dr. B explained that post-transplant you don't see immediate results. In fact, even in 6 months I'll only see half the benefit.

But in a year, we'll see most of the improvement. As they say, "it takes a while to lose hair, so growing it back isn't overnight." They also say "I wish martini glasses had higher edges so they didn't spill in the bus." I think the latter is more funny.
