After the surgery, the scalp may be tender for a few weeks, and medications may be prescribed. Bandages might cover the scalp for a day or two, and patients can usually return to work after 2-5 days.
New hair growth typically starts after 3-4 weeks, and significant improvement is noticeable within a few months. Around 60% of new hair growth is usually observed after 6 to 9 months. The doctor may recommend minoxidil (Rogaine) to improve hair growth after transplantation.
