Within 15 days of beard transplant, most of the grafts fallen automatically. How much will it affect the result?

Question

And what care should be taken after beard transplant?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It is normal to lose transplanted hairs weeks after surgery.  It may take 6 to 12 months to see new hairs grow out.

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

Transplanted graft’s hair starts to shedding in the first week of surgery and may go on untill 4-6 th weeks after surgery. İt is not surprising to lost approx. %70-80 of all transplanted hair shafts in first month when you are washing, gently rubbing or touching the face. İt is shock loss and not permanent. …New hair at transplant and donor area starts to grow at 3-4 th month after surgery .

This is typical. You should start to see them grow back in a few months. As for post-op care, after 15 days you can essentially go back to a normal lifestyle, keeping in mind the area likely will be sensitive to sunlight for a few more weeks at least. It's always best to ask any follow up questions you have to your doctor.

Thank you for the post and question. Being only 15 days post beard transplant procedure, this is very normal part of the recovery. It may take up to 4 to 5 weeks for this to occur. You should start seeing results around your 3rd or 4th month post procedure. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Ramtin A. Cohanim, MD · Answer

it's normal for the hairs to shed at about 15 says.  The grafts or follicles are still in place and you'll see regrowth in a few months.  
However there are instances that the actual grafts fall out (due to rubbing, inappropriate slit size, etc) but that usually happens in the first few days. 
Good luck

Thank you for asking this question.
Hair shedding is very normal after transplant. Usually it occurs within the first 2nd week to the 6th week of transplant. And it has been known to occur sooner or later than the mentioned period as well. So, provided all viable hair has been implanted in your beard, you need not worry at all about the eventual result. There is no special care you need to take post 15 days of beard transplant. Hair growth is a gradual process. So, let the natural course take place and relax.
  
Good luck!

These hairs will sooner or later shed. They are never a problem for new hairs that start to grow. Usually, there is a lag time between the time the hairs shed (2-8 weeks) and the time the new hair grows (3-8 months). IF for any reason, there is an overlap between the two, pay no attention to it for when the new hair grows, the old hairs from the grafts that may persist beyond 8 weeks, will eventually shed
