15 weeks post FUE but no shedding or shock loss yet, is this normal? (Photo)

Asked By:HairFlick in London UK

I had FUE transplant in Istanbul on 7th Feb with 4000 FUE. All is well so far and I'm happy with growth at 15 weeks which seems far better than expected at this stage. However I don't believe I've seen any shock loss shedding of the hair since the FUE. I have checked the shower while washing and rubbing the head over white paper to see if any is falling out but no loss is visible Is this normal, or do some people not experience any shedding at all? Or perhaps it is still to happen? Any ideas?

Answer: It is normal to lose transplanted hairs weeks after surgery. If it is taking longer, then that may be normal as well.
