It's been 1 month and 1 week post op FUE hair transplant surgery, as per doctor it's 4100 grafts. (Photo)

Dear Sollu,Thank you for writing in with this question. It appears as though some of the follicles have started to shed their hairs.  This is normal. It is completely normal for up to 80% of the follicles to shed their hairs, and I rarely see less than 50% of the follicles shed their hairs, even when concomitantly performing a PRP with ACell® procedure to aid in the healing in of the new grafts.Let’s examine why this is happening. Unlike nail beds, which make our fingernails for the duration of our lives, hair follicles make hair in cycles. The timing of the cycles is as follows:Anagen (growing phase): 2-7 yearsCatagen (short phase before resting phase): 2-3 weeksTelogen (resting phase): 3-8 monthsEvery single day about 50 to 100 hair follicles on a person's head (with no hair loss) enter a regressive phase called Catagen, and then a resting phase called Telogen, which lasts a total of about 3-8 months. As a result, every day people shed 50-100 hairs, and at the same time 50-100 hairs re-enter the growth, or Anagen phase. If a person has no hair loss, it looks the same all year round. It's like going up to a pine tree, a tree that appears never to lose its needles.....yet there are thousands of pine needles under the pine tree.....like your scalp hair, the pine tree is constantly making and shedding pine needles.....on your scalp, your follicles are constantly making and shedding hairs. The stress of a hair restoration procedure typically triggers most of the follicles to come out of the anagen phase of growth and enter catagen, followed by 3-8 months of telogen. The hairs re-enter the anagen, or growing phase, after 3-8 months. This is just how normal hair follicles behave. By 12 months I would consider you at the end of the "new hair" growth. Some people may take up to 15 or even 18 months to see the full effects from a hair restoration procedure.  I hope this information is helpful to you.Kind Regards,Ken Anderson, MD

The typical course of recovery after a hair transplant entails the grafts falling out within the first few weeks after a transplant.  At this point you are left appearing as you may have been before the procedure.  The transplanted hairs then start to regrow at different rates around 4 to 6 months after the procedure.  The full results may not be appreciated for one year after the procedure.   

The photo looks like you had a hair transplant surgery. If you are concerned about the progress it is best to contact your doctor.

Great picture.  At one month, This is right where you should be.  Most patients will shed about 50-85% of the transplanted follicles in the first few weeks.  The hair will slowly start to regrow a few months after that.  You will know that your hair is starting to respond as you will be able to feel them growing with your fingertips (will feel almost like razor stubble).  Give it time.  You will get a great outcome.  Best of luck.

Shedding of transplanted hairs in the first  month after the operation  is an almost universal characteristic of a hair transplant. This occurs because during hair transplantation a graft is temporarily stripped of its blood supply and the grafts shed their hair.  Shedding of transplanted hairs are  usually  noticed begining 1 to 2 weeks following the procedure and continuing for up to six weeks. A very small percentage of patients do not shed and the transplanted hairs continues to grow. Please note that  It dosen`t mean that something goes wrong . New hairs  start to regrow in the 3rd or 4th months after the operation , and final result will be achieved only one year later All the best  

Your recipient area is looking normal. You seem to have figured out how to wash the recipient area so it looks clean. Congradts!
