2 weeks and 1-day post-op. Does this shedding look normal? (Photo)

Asked By:paterson31 in Ireland, IE

Had my FUE done 2 weeks and one day ago. For the past few days (5 Aprox) I've noticed shedding like this on my pillow and when I shower. Does it seem normal to you guys? I'm not very worried as I know that shedding is very natural. I'm just looking for a reassuring opinion. Thanks
