Question

The transplanted hair continues to grow normally , is supposed too drops right? transplanted area full of holes because the needle 18 days after transplant is that normal? What can i do for faster recovery

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It is normal to shed transplanted hairs weeks after surgery.  The new hairs may take 6 to 12 months to grow.

Justin Rome, MD · Answer

Because of the great vascularity in the face, it's not uncommon to see some of the hairs grow right away and not shed.  That said, it is likely that you will still experience some delayed shedding so do not worry about that.  I personally love doing facial hair transplantation with the ARTAS robot.  They are very rewarding procedures.  Best of luck!

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

If you don't shed within the first 6 weeks and see growth continue, celebrate that you are one of the lucky ones.
