Greetings! Today while washing my hair, few hairs fallen out, what concerned me this hairs circled in red which have bulb by its end! Was wondering if this is the normal shading of my transplanted hair or am loosing my grafts because I did something wrong. Can I rub my ttansplanted hair and shower normally after 16 days post op. ? All responses are appreciated!

Recipient areas post hair transplant can occur due to inadvertent use of pre slit technique or use of larger bore needles to make slits.
Recipient area scarring occurs around the point of implant where bores are made. Overzealously close packing of hairs in order to achieve high density not only...
Hair transplantation can be undertaken simultaneously at the scalp and the eyebrow though hair line designing and implantation techniques vary.
Traction alopecia can cause permanent loss of hair follicle. Treatment involves preventing traction to hair as in tying hair into a ponytail....
Anytime you have a donor strip harvested for FUT there will be a scar and it will likely be visible if you shave your head.
Some of the patchy areas around the scar may improve with time and the inflammation from the scar healing improves.
Scalp micro pigmentation is a good option...
