Hair lost during crust removal. Is this normal?

Param
Hi. I got 4600 grafts one week ago. Now the crust formed during hair transplant is coming off but along with I saw a lot of hairs coming off as well. Is it normal. As I would have lost almost 200 plus hairs out of 4600. I discussed it with my hair surgeon but I could not get a satisfactory answer. The hairs coming off a root like structure attached at the bottom. I didn't bleed also. Please let me know is it normal. Thanks.
