I understand that hairs will shed after a hair transplant, as it is part of the process, however, I counted about 30 hairs on my pillow, on the 4th day after the transplant. I was under the assumption that hair shedding should not occur until weeks after the implant and at that point in time, the bulb is already safe. But within the first few days, why are these hairs falling out so early? Are these grafts lost? Any feedback is appreciated.

Answer: Shedding hair 3 days after Neograft Shedding hair after a hair transplant is not uncommon, but usually this does not occur until several weeks after the transplant. It is also important to remember that not every transplanted hair follicle is going to survive. Most hair transplant methods using micrografts should have success rates greater than 95%, but that means that in a large session with 2,000 or more grafts, a patient still might lose 100 or so grafts. It is likely that any hairs that fall out within the first few days are going to be grafts that did not survive, but some early normal hair shedding is also possible. Either way, patience is going to be warranted.

Answer: Post-NeoGraft Shedding While it is most common for patients to begin the shedding process much later than you are experiencing, patient response is also very variable. If you experiencing this much shedding two days out, I would definitely recommend following up with your NeoGraft physician so they can better evaluate why you are experiencing this.

Answer: NeoGraft Shedding Thakn you for your question, invest9. Hair shedding within three days after NeoGraft Hair Transplant is unusual. I am concerned that the hairs you found on your pillow are grafted hairs that were unable to take hold. I suggest you consult with the surgeon who performed your procedure to learn more about the hairs you found on your pillow.Best wishes,
