HT by fue technic 21 days ago 3100 FUs, TH start growing since the first day, currently 0,7cm. I've some shedding from wk2 but 70% of the TH still growing. Is it a good signal of life? healing was fast, never had scabs and the skin redness disappear in 10 days. I though TH don't grow & it should remain in the same length until shedding. Could be possible it isn't real growth & the hair is being slowly ejected? Ive seen TH modifies its position to shed, it lays down to the skin to fall. Thnks

Answer: If you are having growth immediately after surgery, consider yourself lucky. It can happen.
6.5 months isn't the type to start worrying, it likely just means your growth cycle is a bit later than most. If you hit months 8-9 and still aren't seeing anything, that's when you should starting feeling concerned and you and your doctor should have a conversation about what is happening.
It is normal for hairs to be shed by the end of the first month, along with scabs and crust during that period as well. As long as there has been no trauma to the head, bleeding, or picking at the scabs, you shouldn't worry about grafts dislodging. If you are still concerned you can always ask...
