Why am I shedding huge amounts of native hair 7 days after conservative Fue in the temples and in the crown?

Asked By:Dr185 in Thailand, TH

I've always had moderate to slow loss but mainly diffuse for many years and still have a lot of coverage. I understand that shock loss is normal and I expected to see this especially in the crown where I had only thinning. In this area trauma to the native hair was likely, but I didn't expect to comb out 50 hairs everyday after only 7 days since the procedure. This is worrying me since after a shower I would normally only comb out 2 or 3 hairs, that's how stable my hair loss was. Is this common?
