Transplanted hair growth immediately after a HT. Any suggestions?

growingJun 29, 2016
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

If you are not sure about the post operative care and what to expect it is best to see your doctor for a recheck.  In general if you have bleeding or see large tissue that look like grafts, it may be a sign you lost grafts.

Pain after surgery is normal. Pain after one weeks is considered normal. Since every one experience pain differently you would need to speak to your doctor about the pain

It is hard to really examine a person with photos. It is best to follow up with your doctor with your issues and concerns.  Since it has only been one month it may be a normal part of healing (or it may not be).
