8 Days after FUE transplant, gaps appearing between the new grafts. Is this the shedding stage or something is wrong? (photos)

Asked By:campbell02 in Sydney, AU

Hi...I have attached a (day 2) photo and a (day 8) photo. As seen on (day 8) photo, I noticed gaps or separations appearing between the new grafts. Is that the shedding stage or something is wrong? Is shedding supposed to look like this? After 8 days, most of the scabs are still intact. I have followed my doctor's instructions properly. Just got worried when I noticed it this morning. Please let me know, I appreciate any help or advise. Thanks

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