Stages Of Hair Transplant Growth – Rob’s Timeline
Rob from Montana had done extensive research before he choose Hasson and Wong and was very clear on his hair restoration goals and coveted hairline. As a result of the considerable knowledge gained by his research, Rob had a good understanding of what his desired hairline would entail and therefore Dr. Hasson agreed to a more aggressive design and approach.
This would mean more of the grafts would be committed to the frontal half and a second procedure to complete the transformation would be planned to address the crown. A more conservative approach would have meant a higher hairline and the need for fewer grafts on a possible second procedure if desired or necessary. The lower more aggressive hairline would then simply mean a higher number of grafts may be needed on the second procedure to cover the extra area of balding/thinning scalp.
For those patients with a more limited donor supply, the more aggressive hairline would not be recommended. However, as our photos gallery would indicate, a higher more conservative hairline can also create a dramatic transformation and significant cosmetic benefit. As clearly evidenced by the 6 month post-op update below, the cosmetic impact as a result of this 5350 graft hair transplant procedure is impressive and he is very happy with the outcome so far.
Thank you Rob for sharing his stages of hair transplant growth and his hair transplant recovery and congratulations on your new look! We will look forward to seeing you again at the clinic for round two!

Pre-Op Photos
4 Days Post-Op
Four days post-op, all done and back at home. 5350 on the grafts and because of the hairline and style I chose, covered the front to mid-way back. Dr. Hasson thinks I need around another 3000 for complete coverage including the crown. I should have some good density up front though. I think FUE would be good for the second one and Dr. Hasson said he could focus on multiple hair follicles on the FUE. I would have done it all right there if I could have. My photos will be even better after a second session. One thing I def. was not prepared for was the amount of swelling in my face!! My face really blew up and I can hardly open my eyes!
***4 day post-op clinic note***
While some degree of swelling is expected, Rob’s swelling was above average. Day 4 post-op is usually the peak and swelling quickly improves within a day or two from there. As evidenced in the 1 week post-op photos taken 3 days later, the swelling has resolved and a normal appearance has returned.
One Week Post-Op
Here are the week 1 photos! I am going to get a haircut after I have the staples removed on the 8th. Looks like I need a shave as well!Two Week Post-Op
Here are the photos from 2 weeks out. I am nervous for the hair to start falling out as it has been growing. I REALLY need a haircut! A few crusts left but mostly gone. The scalp feels a little weird/numb
Five Week Post-Op
Looks like just about all the transplanted hair has fallen out. Looking pretty much like I did before the procedure.
Seven Week Post-Op
2 weeks later, not much different than the last set of photos.
Ten Week Post-Op
Here is a quick photo to show you how it’s looking today. Basically I would say that 98% of the hair fell out and the few that held on have grown longer in the front. I am staring to see some growth but it’s definitely not equal on all parts of the head. The center section is growing back but that is the part that was shaved so I am not as excited about that…well I guess I am glad it is growing back.
14 Week Post-Op
Here are some quick shots from today! It has def. been growing but I am concerned with the lack of density and seems like only half of the hairs are growing. Wondering if this is normal or if you or should I be worried? I am still wearing a loose hat all day. It actually looks slightly better in the photo than it does in real time for some reason. The last 2 photos show a little more…the center is where I still had coverage before the rearrangement.
Six Month Post-Op
It looks even better in person!!! Here are the 6 month out photos. It looks REALLY good in person! I used to hate to be around wind because it would mess my hair up and show the front balding…but now my favorite thing to do is stick my head out my truck window!!!! I looks good down or blown back! These photos are just after a riding session this AM and just sticking my head out the window. I didn’t even run a comb through it.
