Answer: It is normal to shed transplanted hairs weeks after surgery. The new hairs may take 6 to 12 months to grow.
There is a distinction between shock loss and loss of the grafts after a FUE transplant. The immediate loss of the transplanted grafts is expected starting around 2-3 weeks after the procedure. Shock loss occurs when the native , non-transplanted hairs, fall out after the procedure.
At 1 month, some people have no evidence of a hair transplant in the recipient area. Everyone is different but I always tell people not to worry as once it is done well, the results are predictable.
