What to Expect with a Hair Transplant in Bennettsville
During an initial consultation, your MAXIM surgeon will evaluate your hair loss and scalp laxity, discuss your vision, and recommend a customized treatment plan.
If you proceed with a surgical hair transplant, your procedure will take place in our convenient in-office surgical suite. You’ll receive local anesthesia so you’ll be comfortable throughout.
Your surgeon will delicately transplant follicular units from your donor area into balding or thinning spots, recreating natural-looking hair patterns.
After your hair transplant procedure, you can expect:
Days 1-3: Swelling, redness, tenderness is common. Follow post-op shampoo regimen twice daily.
Days 4-6: Swelling and redness should start improving. Continue shampoo regimen.
Day 7: Swelling, redness, and tenderness are minimal or fully resolved. Transition to gentle regular shampoo for donor/ungrafted areas.
Days 7-14: Transplanted grafts will begin shedding - a normal part of the new growth process.
Weeks 2-4: New hair begins growing in gradually.
Months 2-4: Re-growth continues, with most patients reaching about 50% of final growth by month 4.
Months 4-10: Steady gradual regrowth takes place until final results are reached around month 10 for most patients.
Months 10-12: Transplanted hair blends seamlessly with existing hair.
Months 12-18: Final look can be seen as new hair is fully integrated. Individual timelines may vary.
While recovery times vary, most patients can return to normal daily activities after just 2-4 days. We’ll provide detailed post-procedure instructions so you can optimize healing.
