FUT hair transplant 1 year growth, baby hairs and hair fall.

Question

I am at 1 year after FUT 3500 grafts. 80% of the transplanted hair have come. 50% have thickened and grew long & 30% of them are still looking like baby hairs. They are growing slow. Hope in next 3-4 months they will thicken. I am seeing some hair fall (30-50 hairs). I also see some of the transplanted hair falling out after growing long (and some baby hairs, which came up). I am not taking finasteride. Is this hair fall of transplanted grafts normal, and i believe its part of normal cycle?

You need to re-consult with your hair restoration professional to see if you need to put on finasteride for halting of further hair loss.

William Woessner, MD · Answer

Daily hair loss up to 100 hairs is normal. Certainly 30-50 hairs is not excessive. Use minoxidil 5% on the transplanted area - this may help hair to be healthier. Certainly taking finesteride will help in the long term.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

At one year there should be no baby hairs but good adult terminal hairs with full thickness of the hair shafts.  It sounds like you have had a failure of the transplants to some degree and you should return to meet with your surgeon
