Am I losing transplanted hair? Grafts/Hair along-with scabs coming off after 6-7 days post Hair Transplant Surgery (FUE)

December 20, 2014
Asked By:Anon4058394

I had hair transplant just 7 days back. Today I was gently massaging (circular motion) the implanted area with my finger tips , I found few scabs falling from my head. On looking closely I found some hair encapsulated in them too. I heard that transplanted hair starts falling off 2-6 weeks, but its been only a week with me. Could it mean that I am losing my transplanted hair ? What is the safe number of days after which a patient need not to worry even if hair falls off with scab ?
