Will newly transplanted hair grow before falling out or stay short? 2 weeks p.o.

Asked By:braveheart2018 in New London, CT

After a FUE procedure will the new hair grow first before it falls out or stay short. I had a procedure on crown and hairline 2 weeks ago and some of the hairs have started to grow and some remaining very short like stubble. Is this anything to worry about ? I assume the short stubbly ones are healthy and will fall out with the others in due course? All crusts have gone now.

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.
