Asked By:amer1989 in London, GB

3 months ago I had a fue transplant of 3300 grafts. Recently I have been noticing tiny white balls of skin tissue falling out with hair shafts from the transplant while I am massaging my head. I am worried I am losing my grafts. I messaged rhe doctor who is asking for photos but now they seem to have stopped. I was experiencing this for a out a month. Has anyone got experience in this matter and can share some light on this? Is this normal and will the hair grow back?
