Hair Replacement Surgery:  How Long Can I Grow My Hair After Surgery 

Check Out These Facts About Hair Replacement Surgery.....

When it comes to having a hair transplant operation, the most important question that men usually ask are: “Can I grow my hair as long as I want and will it look natural?” This is indeed a good question for those men who have the surgery done and would like to continue to grow long, flowing hair. The good news is that, yes, your hair will look totally natural and you will be able to grow it as long you want.

When you undergo micrograft surgery, the new hair that has been utilized to replace balding areas physically grow from the scalp itself, just like your natural hair does. This ensures that no matter how long you grow your hair, it will look as good as the original follicles would have grown them.

During surgery, the doctor will transplant hair follicles from the back of your scalp area that are individually grafted into little incisions on the front of your scalp. Wherever these new follicles have been transplanted to, hair growth from this area will happen naturally, so long as they stay in place are are not cut or torn out from an accident.

The new hair that comes in as a result of micrografting surgery will not grow as fast as your normal hair would, but you can still look forward to at least ½ inch of hair growth per month. It may take you a year or two to grow a considerable amount of hair, but you can be confident knowing that the result will look and feel fantastic as your new hair comes in.

Once your surgery is complete and a week or two has gone by, you will return to your physician for a checkup to make sure that the transplanted follicles are growing exactly as they should and are coming in naturally. So long as you have no complications that the doctor is aware of, the sutures of the donor area in the rear of your scalp will be removed. Once complete, you can grow your hair as long as you want without having to return to the doctor for checkups unless, as stated above, you experience an accident which causes the hair to be pulled out.
