I had a NeoGraft surgery 17 days ago. I am shedding many (buzzed) hairs. Amongst the shed hairs, I notice ALOT with bulbs on the end. This is just what I see on my pillow case (which I have changed 3 times since the surgery). Why am I seeing hairs with bulbs on the end 17 days after the surgery? I was told that these should be secure by now. What would cause them to be so fragile? If I see bulbs on the end, does this mean that they are failed grafts? please help!

Any patient that is having follicle transplant using NeoGraft needs to be extremely cautious of the transplant site to ensure nothing falls out. If your hair is shedding after 3 days, I would consult with your doctor.

It usually takes about 1 week to blend in with current hair. The first haircut varies person to person - how fast it grows and preference of hair length.
We are extremely excited about bringing Neograft into our practice. Recommendations are 6-8 months between grafting procedures. Secondary procedures may be unnecessary as single sessions may successfully transfer up to 2500 grafts unless more density is desired.
