I have two hair transplant surgeries and lately I’ve noticed each time I’m brushing my hair that my hair transplants fall out as I brush my hair. I have curly hair so I brush a lot to style my hair and get through the curls. I’m not sure if it’s due to me brushing my hair so much each day or if my hair is going through the natural hair cycle. I wanted to know is this normal for my implants to be coming out so much each day I’ve noticed some coming out each day?

It often takes 12 - 15 months for all of the newly transplanted grafts to grow a hair. While most people notice new growth 4 months after a transplant some take longer. So at 10 months I would not consider another transplant. Wait 12 - 15 months before determining the final result.
Hello and thank you for your question. I would suggest waiting at least a few weeks after a facelift before getting a hair transplant. Really you should be asking your doctor, someone who knows your medical situation, in order to get the correct response. Best of luck to you.
