Asked By:niladridey933 in India, IN

12 weeks ago I had a HT with FUT technique . From last 3-4 weeks I can see few of my native hairs (nearby by the transplanted area) are falling out with white bulb at the end . It seems to me those hairs are good hair & thick / z-black . Is that for shockloss ? I am not taking any medicine just using Biotin from last many years . Rogine does not work for me(I tried it for 2 years) & not using finasteride as i dont want to use it for long term . Does those hairs that i am loosing will come back ?

Answer: It is normal to lose transplanted hairs weeks after surgery. It may take 6 to 12 months to see new hairs grow out.
