I had my transplant done in February of 2023. I never fully lost all the hairs. Some have been attached ever since. Just this month I feel like I am losing a ton of hairs. What could cause this to happen after 8 months? Am I at risk of losing everything? I am so nervous. My doctor says this doesn’t usually happen and he wants me to have blood work done. Any advice or feedback is much appreciated.

Hello and thank you for your question. Typically pubic hair or underarm hair can be used if there are no other suitable donor areas. Best of luck to you.

Hello and thank you for your question. If your eyebrow transplant is done correctly by an experienced doctor you don't have to worry about the ink showing through the implanted hair. The key here is to find a very experienced doctor. Best of luck to you.

Hello and thank you for your question. It really depends on your healing rate, if you heal quickly then I think waiting about 6 months would be sufficient. However, if you ten do heal slowly then I would wait about a year before getting a transplant. Best of luck to you.
