Asked By:srichar3 in Texas, TX

I had a 3000 graft fue 6 weeks ago, when the hairs started shedding about 3 weeks after my FUE I noticed many of them where kinked almost double at the root. Im worried that this means theu were incorrectly placed and bent on the way in. Is this possible ot am i worrying about nothing?

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.
