2nd fue to add density to 1st procedure. First fue hairs now shedding! Will they return?

Hi, just today I had a second fue procedure to add density to one temple which didn't match the other after 12 months growth. The doctor didn't mention shedding might occur with the originally transplanted hairs, but immediately after the 2nd procedure this temple looks thinner than before. Is this normal? Surely they wouldn't fall out immediately? Possibly transected? I was quite happy with the original results, but the doc offered 200 grafts free of charge to balance the temples. Thanks
