Jae Pak, MD · Answer

In general transplanted hairs will fall out several weeks after surgery before new hairs start to grow.  You should have been informed of this basic fact before the surgery.  If there are concerns or issues, it is best to follow up with your doctor.

It is very common to notice what you see at this stage. I would not worry abut it but simply protect your skin from the sun, avoid smoking and keep taking all your medication as usual.From your pictures I guess you had an FUE and in my experience this is an excellent technique but often comes with a slower hair growth.It will take another 2-3 months before you start seeing hair growing again and about one year or longer to appreciate your final result.

Edward Ball, MRCS · Answer

It is completely normal for your grafted hairs to shed after a transplant. This tends to occur between 1-4 weeks post operatively. You then have a rather frustrating wait for the grafts to grow their new hairs from approximately 4 months onwards.

Alan S. Feller, DO · Answer

The hair in your transplants will likely be mostly gone within a month of the procedure. Some lucky patients enjoy the continued growth of the hair for months, but many times even that hair sheds and then regrows. I would say only 2 % of my patients continue to grow continuously after a procedure,. I wish I knew why.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Yes, after a month or so, 95% of people will lose 95% of the grafts by the end of the first month only to find them regrow at 4-6 months later.
