How do you know what you are going to look like when you get a hair transplant? (from Reddit)

After a hair transplant, the grafts (hairs) go into a sleep phase which lasts 1-4 months. Then the new hairs sprout and start coming in waves and when they grow, they grow at a rate of 1/2 inch per month. The fullness you see once it is fully grown by the 8th month, reflects the density that the grafts (hairs) were put in by the surgeon. The greater the area of balding, the more grafts are needed. To help people like you judge what they are going to get, we hold Monthly Open House Events where prospective patients can meet many real patients who have had it done before themselves. They can look closely at the results and speak with these former patients who often answer questions as you asked. I tell every prospective patient to demand to meet prior patients so that they know what they are getting into. We have even paid for air fares after a surgery with us, if you came to one of our Open House Events because we want all of our patients to be educated and develop realistic expectations
