17 days post op of NeoGraft, I'm shedding many buzzed hairs. Why am I seeing hairs with bulbs on the end? (photos)

That is completely normal and nothing to be concerned about.  Hairs shed within the first month after being transplanted.  It happens in every patient.  The body does not hang onto dead tissue for 17 days.  Anything that has lasted longer  than the first few days has survived and will regrow over the next few months.

Transplanted hair follicles will enter a shedding phase where the hair shafts are shed. A new hair shaft will eventually appear. Minoxidil can be used to expedite the cycling of the transplanted follicles.

Shedding hairs after any hair transplant (including NeoGraft) is completely normal.  The follicle remains within the transplanted recipient site, and the hair shaft is shed.  The hair shaft then regenerates from the follicle over the next several months.  
All the best,

What you are experiencing is totally normal and should have been communicated to you in your consult and post-care.  Transplanted hairs will shed and begin re-growing within 3-4 months and should begin to grow normally.  Make sure that you keep all of your scheduled follow ups appointments and communicate any concerns you have with the physician.

Thank you for your question, neograftsurgery. The shedding is a natural part of the recovery process. After shedding, the new growth will begin in 3-4 months and your hair will continue to grow normally. Most importantly, your results will look healthy and natural.Best wishes,

It is normal to have shedding after a hair transplant surgery.  All the hairs may fall out before new hairs start to grow.  In general it takes about 6 to 12 months to see results.  As always follow up with your doctor for a recheck.

...for hair to fall out at this time.  The actual follicle by this time should be implanted and ready to grow hair any time from a few months to a year.  Nothing to worry about.

This is completely normal - and is to be expected.  Although you are losing the hair shaft the seed of that transplanted follicle is still intact.  That seed will regenerate a new hair, but full growth will be seen ~12-18 months post transplant.

No worries!This is a normal process. The graft is intact under the skin.  After a week or so, the graft will release the hair and rest for awhile.  After a few months, a new hair will grow.  I went through this process myself not too long ago!  It will regrow.  You should consider using the Reload hair care products to promote a healthy scalp and better growth.  It stimulates the growth of the new follicles.  All natural product.

The short answer is "yes." When the hairs are planted in the recipient sites some or many of the grafts may go into a telogen or sleep phase. These hair shafts (not the entire graft) are shed. Don't worry about the little white bulb that you see. That is how you can tell it is a telogen hair. Generally, the hairs start to regrow 3-4 months after the procedure and you don't get the entire cosmetic result from your procedure for 8-12 months after the surgery. Of course, if you have any questions or problems, don't hesitate to return to the doctor who performed your hair restoration. Good luck.
