Hei Dr. I have got Hair Transplant one month ago. I still have scab in my scalp and most of the transplanted hair have still not fallen off. But when I massage in showering, some hairs fall off with root (at least looks like root). Can transplanted hair fall off with roots in the period of one month as well ? Are not all grafts set permanently ? Looking forward to your answers. Thanks in advance Regards Bijaye

This can not be treated with a hair transplant because any active disease will kill the hair transplant. An alternative treatment that works terrific is scalp micropigmentation (see sdb site below)
The reason/s why you shouldn't bend your head at least the 1st day post op so you will not cause grafts to pop out or an increase bleeding in the recipient area.
