7. What Is The Healing/Recovery Time After The Surgery?

Thanks to the latest and most innovative technology, the incisions or cuts made in the scalp are very small and minimally invasive compared to the surgeries performed a decade ago. This directly leads to a rapid healing or recovery period. You’ll start feeling fine within a couple of days after the surgery, but a bit of swelling and numbness might remain for a week.

However, right after the surgery, your recipient area will look a bit pink and scabs will start forming where cuts were made. Within 8 to 10 days, these tiny incisions will heal completely. If there is no previous hair to hide these scabs, then for the first few days temporary scars will be noticeable. However, you can wear a cap for some days after consulting your doctor. Once the transplanted hair starts growing, the results will look completely natural and no one will be able to tell if you had a hair transplant surgery.

9. Since When The Newly Transplanted Hair Will Start Growing?

Generally, it takes 2 to 3 months after the surgery when the new follicles will start growing new hair. In the initial stages the transplanted hair grows quite thin, but gradually its thickness starts increasing and eventually it becomes thick & full. After a year of the surgery, the hair matures and grows for a lifetime.
