Did my beard transplant hairs dry up and die? (Photo)

Thank you for posting this question. As with any elective cosmetic surgery, questions regarding post-operative issues and concerns are always best directed to the physician who performed the surgery. Your physician knows exactly what happened during the procedure, and is professionally and morally bound to be helpful and provide information and opinions as the final results take shape. That being said, it is unlikely that your hairs have died, and more likely that they are just shedding.  However, it's not possible to tell without an in-person physical examination.I am hopeful this information is helpful to you.

It is normal for transplanted hairs to scab and fall off 7-14 days after a transplant.  The hair follicle is typically embeds under the surface and is safe after shedding the hair shaft.  If there is any concerns with recovery I would recommend speaking with your surgeon.  

The shedding you are experiencing is right on track with the NeoGraft process. Our patients typically experience shedding once the hairs have been in place on their head for two to three weeks. The timetable may be shorter for the beards so just as NeoGraft patients with head transplants wait 3-4 months after shedding for hair regrowth, you too are likely to experience the same process albeit in a shorter timetable. I suggest you consult a board certified facial plastic surgeon
because the board certified credential ensures you receive the highest
quality knowledge, treatment, care and skill available. A consultation provides
you the opportunity to relay your concerns and desired outcome to the surgeon
while the surgeon can assess your health profile and discuss his/her pertinent
advice.
