2 weeks post hair transplant and newly transplanted hairs are breaking off at the root

September 8, 2015
Asked By:SpookyPooky in Arizona

I'm a 50+ yo female. Two weeks ago I had FUT for hairline advancement. Three days ago I noticed several of the newly transplanted hairs are breaking off at the root, leaving the tiny hair below the skin. I'm worried - I don't think this is normal, and why is it happening? Will those hairs come back in time? Why are they breaking off?
