I recently had an FUE procedure and I'm on day 3. I've noticed that a few of the transplanted hair shafts were flat and as if they were stuck to the scalp. I showed them to the doctor and he said that this could happen but the follicles are firmly anchored inside. Is this true? Are the follicles still healthy and uble to produce hair in the future. Please find image attached below. I've circled on the hair shafts that appear to be flattened and stuck to the scalp. Thanks

Answer: If the grafts look like it is falling out of your scalp, then it would be an issue. Without an examination or knowing
It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results. If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.
Results vary from patient to patient.
Results vary from doctor to doctor.
That is why you have to pick the right doctor and be the right patient (with the right expectation).
