FUE grafts at 42 days are stubble, same length since FUE. Is this normal?

Question

I had 2200 grafts placed 42 days ago, frontal third. There is a little big of shock loss, and the grafts feel like stubble. I had PRP done as well , and was told sometimes with PRP hairs will not shed and go straight into growth phase. The hairs don't seem to be shedding, but are still same length, not really growing. Was told this is normal?

If you are concerned please follow up with your doctor for an exam.
You will have hair loss after surgery. You may have graft loss after surgery. Not all the grafts will take. You won't really know until you see results in 6 to 12 months.

Hello. I noticed you wrote in a few months back and was wondering how you’re doing. At this point you should be on your way to good growth, possibly 80%. I hope your transplant went well and you are pleased with your results.Best wishes,Dr. T

Hairs that don't grow are left over hairs in the transplanted grafts. These usually shed when the new hair grows in
