Question

Some of the grafted hair fell in the first weeks. Gentle massage is causing more to fall with white stuff (which looks like the graft)

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Your transplanted hairs will likely shed and fall out weeks after surgery.  This is normal.  This should have been explained to you.  Please follow up with your doctor.

Rae Lynne Kinler, MD · Answer

typically the transplanted hair falls out in the first 2-3 weeks after your procedure, however, some may remain and fall out between the transplant and when the new hair starts growing in, and any time in between. This is normal. You have to wait the full 12 months to see your final result. Be patient!

Sara Wasserbauer, MD · Answer

Your hair should be shedding. The way that hair cycles after a transplant, old hair within the graft needs to shed in order for the new one to grow in. You should expect to see growth on the 6-12 month time frame.

Good luck!

Good luck!

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Shedding usually starts at about 1 weeks, can be 2-3 weeks and some or all of he grafts will shed and then return at 4-6 months. At 40 days, I would not expect any significant growth. You must wait it out for at least 5-6 months to see the growth start and 8 months for 80% of the growth to show up. Don't worry
