Days 92–121
Month 4 after a hair transplant
Days 92 to 121. What month 4 usually looks like, what's normal, and what deserves a call to your clinic.
What you can do now
On day 92
Call your clinic this month if you notice
- Fever, pus, a bad smell, or redness and warmth that spread.
- Bumps that are painful, hot or spreading.
- No change anywhere by month 6: plan the checkpoint.
- Painful or spreading bumps.
- Pain that gets worse each day instead of easing.
- Hair loss in new areas.
In the GraftKeeper app, Check a symptom walks you through what to do.
Days 98–104
Fine hairs coming through
More hairs break the surface over these weeks. They may be thin, light or wavier than you expect. Hair keeps growing at roughly the normal pace, so length builds slowly.
What's typical
- Fine short hairs
- Uneven patches
- Some bumps
Bumps that are painful, hot or spreading.
Days 105–111
Patchy but growing
Growth often comes in waves. One area may look fuller while another hasn't started. That's common; the follicles don't all wake up at once.
What's typical
- Patchy growth
- Thin, wiry or wavy hairs
- Occasional bumps
Days 112–118
Close to month 4
Many people notice a change around now: more hairs, a little more length. Others are a few weeks behind. Both are within the usual range.
What's typical
- More fine hairs
- Texture different from your other hair
- Uneven patches
Days 119–125
Month 4
Four months in. New hair is growing for most people, but it's still early. What you see now isn't your result yet; most of the thickening is still ahead.
What's typical
- Fine new hair
- Different texture
- More length
Hair loss in new areas.
