At about 3 months or so. To be fair pre op my hair wasn't in the best shape (due to years of on and off bleaching) but I went dark a few months before surgery and looking back at pictures now right before surgery it was pretty healthy.

I cut all my hair of at about 4 month post op (from down to my bra to right below my ears) and now almost a year later it's finally just past my shoulders. So it IS growing in length, but as far as noticing new hair coming in on the spots where it's sparse not that much honestly. It might not even be a surgery thing it might just be because I've put my hair through a lot, but I'm hopeful. Was thinking about trying that Keranique system that's out there, not too sure about it though.

I am now most days, but for a while ill be honest I probably wasn't- I wasn't keeping track of foods/protein etc for a while. I'm back on track now and hopefully being diligent with that and upping the Biotin will help.

I have always had really thick hair. I started taking Biotin a couple of months before surgery, but I'm still losing a bunch of hair. I'm not going to say that the biotin hasn't helped because if I didn't take it then I could me losing a lot more. I am about 9 months out and I started losing hair around 3 or 4 months out and am still losing it...however, I have a TON of new Hair growth. So much so that it is uncontrollable because it is sticking up everywhere. I guess that's a good sign though. I currently take 10,000 mcg daily, but thinking about upping it to 10,000 twice a day.
