Transplanted hairs fall out in a few weeks.  New hairs will grow out in 6 to 12 months.  You may see some growth at 3 to 4 month.  Some of the photos look like grafts.

Sanusi Umar, MD · Answer

It is usual to loose hair hair shafts in this timeline. After 3-4 days, the stem cells that would be necessary for generating hair in the grafted area would have established themselves. These are the seeds so to speak. The hair shaft you are observing is of no consequence as the stem cells should generate new shafts in a future date. Discuss expectations with your doctor

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

Transplanted graft’s hair starts to shedding in the first week of surgery and may go on untill 4-6 th weeks after surgery. İt is not surprising to lost approx. %70-80 of all transplanted hair shafts in first month when you are washing, gently rubbing or touching the head. İt is shock loss and not permanent. Even your native hair may affected with that post traumatic transient hair loss…New hair at transplant and donor area starts to grow at 3-4 th month after surgery .

Grafts can be seen falling out at 7 days. There is no problem as long as your washing technique adheres to proper methods and you are not disturbing the graft growth.
