Hair Fall After Six Months of Hair Transplant? (photo)

The procedure of hair transplantation where hair is placed in between existing hair can cause a situation called shock loss. The combination of swelling and trauma can put hairs in an advanced stage called the telogen phase where the follicles are not actively growing. Eventually, they fall out and after several months, they start to re-grow. In addition, genetically susceptible hairs or hairs that are easily affected by dihydrotestosterone (DHT) may also continue to fall out even after a transplant.
In my practice, I use a material called extracellular matrix (ECM) made by ACell, and combine it with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to treat both male and female pattern hair loss. This material has helped a lot of our patients around the world, particularly young people, not only treat the progression of hair loss, but reverse hair thinning. After the treatment, their hairs that appeared gone because of the effects of DHT thinning them were back thicker and fuller.
A year after the treatment, if our patients want more hair, we offer an option of hair transplantation. During the surgery, we use extracellular matrix for advanced healing in the donor area. I also use this material during the harvesting of the strip and the closure so that the incisions heal beautifully and the hair follicles that are transplanted flourish.
My suggestion for you is to be patient and wait until your hair grows. See how your hair is doing approximately after a year and make your decision at that time. I hope that was helpful and thank you for your question.

It is normal for the newly implanted hairs to shed around four weeks after the surgery. However, at six months post transplant, all graft-related loss should have taken place already. This is the time when your new hair should be growing in. Experiencing a continual loss of 50 to 100 hairs per day is normal—it’s a part of the healthy growth cycle of hair. But much more than that is unusual and should be looked into further.
