Asked By:ChrisTSU in Norwich, CT

I had my hair transplant nearly 2 months ago and I am just concerned that i have some bald patches where the hair has shed, but a lot of it still hasn't shed yet. Have the grafts been damaged through massaging my scalp? Is that why it has caused the few bald patches?

Answer: It is normal to lose transplanted hairs weeks after surgery. It may take 6 to 12 months to see new hairs grow out.
