I am 8.5 months post FUE, my right side of my hairline is good but left side still has some stubble short hairs 1-2mm long that dont seem to grow even after waiting for months,I tried pulling one of these stubble hairs and they came out very easily,will new hairs grow in place of these stubble hairs or are these the grafts that didnot take up?I am really worried.are these stubble short hairs the failed grafts?

Answer: It is best to see your doctor for a recheck. Without an exam it would be just guess work.

Thank you for your question. You are right in that it could be over-harvesting or potentially shock loss, however, it is too early to say at the 1 month post-op period. I suggest that you consult with your board certified facial plastic surgeon.Best wishes,
