Is shedding from an FUE procedure at 10 days normal?

Most shedding occurs several weeks to months after a procedure but 10 days is not unusual.The follicles are firmly embedded in the scalp and new growth should be evident within the next 1-2 months.

Shedding of the recently transplanted hairs post-surgery is normal. In a healthy, successful, normally healing hair transplant procedure, we typically see shedding of transplanted hairs as soon as 1 day post-op to 1 month post-op. Keep in mind this isn’t the graft or follicle that’s shedding, just the hair itself. This is part of the normal hair growth cycle, and all part of the hair transplant recovery process. If you notice excessive shedding or shedding of the surrounding native hairs, be sure to contact your hair transplant surgeon.

It is normal to lose transplanted hairs weeks after surgery.  It may take 6 to 12 months to see new hairs grow out.  10 days may be early so it is best to discuss your issue with you doctor.

Thank you for the post and question. Being 10 days out, it is very common for the implanted grafts to shed at this point. They typically start at around 8 days post procedure. As long as you do not pick at them, they are completely safe. Hope this helps. 

This doesn't sound unusual or alarming.  You can always ask your surgeon to check, but it sounds like you are progressing just fine.

Typically 2-3 weeks after a FUE procedure the transplanted area will shed. The shafts that you see sticking out aren't real in the sense that this hair will fall out eventually. Only a very small percentage of the patients do no shed.You may experience regrowth at around the 3 months mark post op. Most of the regrowth usually occurs at the 8-10 months mark and it continues up until 18 months post op.Sit tight and be patient the results are coming. Also, if you have any concerns consult your physician.

Shedding starts early in some people, as early as 6 or so days. I would not worry about anything as it looks good to me at this time
