Transplanted hair falling out 10 months post op. Is it normal?

October 4, 2016
Asked By:rookie89 in Farmington Hills, MI

NW6 here. I am 10 months post op now and shedding transplated hairs I understand it is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day but for a NW 6 like me, i dont expect that much normal hair shedding plus the hairs that are falling are not miniaturized which tells me that these are transplanted hairs and not DHT affected hairs. i never had any shockloss after the transplant, could this be a delayed shockloss or telogen phase at 10 months post op? or i am looking at a potential hair transplant failure

Redness would generally go away within a month, so the fact you still have significant redness after 2 months means you should go see your doctor about what may be causing it. Numbness at 2 months is less atypical, but while you talk to your doctor about the redness bring it up and see what...

FUE hair transplant. I am suffering from itching on my scalp
Sean Behnam, MD says:

Itching at two weeks is pretty normal after a transplant, so it may go away in another week or two. It could also be a side effect of the Rogaine, since that can cause some minor irritation as one of the side effects. If it doesn't clear up within a month post op or the itching gets worse talk...
