Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It is normal to shed transplanted hairs weeks after surgery.  The new hairs may take 6 to 12 months to grow.  Some people may not have shedding.

İt is very early to see the progress. You have to wait little bit more and be more patient. İf it goes in. this way you have talk with your doctor. Don't worry about it now. Like I said before it is very early to see the results.

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

Transplanted graft’s hair starts to shedding in the first week of surgery and may go on untill 4-6 th weeks after surgery. İt is not surprising to lost approx.  %70-80 of all transplanted hair shafts in first month when you are washing, gently rubbing  or touching the head. İt is shock loss and not permanent. Even your native hair may affected with that post traumatic transient hair loss…New hair at transplant and donor area starts to grow at 3-4 th month after surgery .

Thank you for your question and posting your pictures. It is still too early to assess the degree to which your transplanted follicles will go through the shedding phase. Some surgeons use PRP with their hair transplants which may reduce the shedding. A better evaluation can be made at 4 to 6 weeks.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

Shedding does not always happen, in fact, 3% of patients find that their hair keeps growing and never sheds. You will not know if this is you until 4-6 weeks have passed
