Is it normal for new transplanted hairs to grow immediately after procedure?

Asked By:RSMember18641 in Louisville, KY

I’m 21 days post op. I recently had a 3,200 FUT procedure. Since the day of surgery, my new hair is noticeably longer. When should I expect the growing hairs to “shed”? Is it normal for transplanted hairs to grow so quickly?
