Eyebrow Tranplantation Hair Fall off?

Question

I had an eyebrow transplantation 12 days ago, from day 9 after the surgery till today ( day 12 ) i found my newly tranplanted hair fall off with crust during washing my face , i didn't scratch them or pick them up, what i do is washing my brows with soup and do circular motion. Did I lost those graft and disrupt them? or this is normal ?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Transplanted hairs will fall out days to weeks after surgery.  The transplanted grafts may stay dormant until new hairs grow in several weeks to months.  In some cases it may take up to one year to see growth.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

For most people, the graft hairs and grafts will sooner or later shed. They are never a problem for new hairs that start to grow. Usually, there is a lag time between the time the hairs shed (2-8 week and the time the new hair grows (3-8 months). IF for any reason, there is an overlap between the two, pay no attention to it for when the new hair grows, the old hairs from the grafts that may persist beyond 8 weeks, will eventually shed

It is normal for transplanted hair to fall out of the recipient site within 2-3 weeks with regrowth occuring in 12 weeks.
