Hair Fall after 6 month of Hair Transplant. Any suggestions?

Question

I had my hair transplant 6 months ago. Now these days when I comb daily I see few ((15-20 No’s) thin and shorter length hair on the comb and on my shirt so my question is that does this normal? Does these hairs are my native hairs or transplanted hairs???

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It is normal to lose transplanted hairs weeks after surgery.  It may take 6 to 12 months to see new hairs grow out.  If you are losing more hair the 6th month mark, you should probably see your doctor for a recheck.

John Peter Cole, MD · Answer

Shock loss will occur in the weeks following a hair transplant.  Any hair loss 6 months out is either progression of hair loss or some other condition causing you to loose your hair.  However, 15 to 20 hairs is really not a large number.  Finer, short hair most likely represents your native hair and not the transplanted hairs, which tend to become coarser as they mature.

next 6 months.  Remember, not all transplants produce results so you have to be ready for failure. If you chose a good clinic your odds are good but still not perfect.  Have you gone in for a follow up?

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

This is called 'shock loss' and it reflects an acceleration of the hair loss after a transplant surgery is done. It is very common in young men and best prevented with the drug finasteride (see video below)

Your native hair may be falling.  As hair loss progresses you may be losing some of your native hair. To slow down th hair loss, it is a good idea to start a medical hair regiment routine.
