My transplanted hair has not fallen out yet?

Question

It's been 20 days since I had my FUT procedure and my transplanted hair has kept growing and not fallen out yet - Surely at this stage the grafted hair should have fallen out and the next phase should be starting soon? In all hair transplant cases - do all graft hairs fall out or can they keep growing with no shedding?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It may take days t o weeks for transplanted hairs to fall out.  In some cases it may continue to grow.  If you are concerned see your doctor.

Kwan Jou Chu, MD · Answer

It is possible that grafts directly grow without shedding phase. Though the possibily is quite low. All you can do now is just waiting. You will also benifit a lot if combing oral finasteride or topical minixidil solutuon.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

Consider yourself lucky. If it stays in place and starts growing, you might be i the 5% of patients that get instant growth.
