Hi Doctors! I am 23 years old and I had very thin hair so I decided to go for FUE. I had my surgery 17 days ago and my hair still has not fallen, on the contrary they started to grow back. Is this normal? Will they shed later or they will continue growing? Thank you for your answers!
Answer: It is normal to lose transplanted hairs days to weeks after surgery. It may take 6 to 12 months to see new hairs grow out. It is normal to lose transplanted hairs days to weeks after surgery.

Answer: Shedding Post-Op Shedding of the transplanted hair normally occurs between the second and third week post-op. Holding on to the transplanted hair without shedding sometimes happens, but it is more likely you will begin to shed soon.

Answer: No shedding Very few patients do not shed the hair like most people do. A very few of my patients followed this pattern of no shedding. They are the very lucky ones. Most people shed the hair between 3 & 6 weeks.

Answer: 17 Days post op Hello. Thank you for posting photos. Based on your photos, you have clean scalp, almost no scabs, which is very good sign. You might face shedding in upcoming days, or may not. You should know sometimes some of the patients do not have shedding after FUE, and it is absolutely normal. All looks good as should be.
