Grafts that shed are all bent and crooked at the root, procedural error? (Photo)

February 13, 2017
Asked By:Sal99999 in Washington, DC

1 month post FUE - grafts are now shedding as expected, the concern I have is that most of the grafts that are shedding seem bent / crooked at the root which suggests to me that they were bent as they are being inserted. Does this mean that the grafts were implanted improperly? is the follicle upside down, and will it live and eventually grow? - I know I'm supposed to ask my doc, but I need other opinions since my own doc would be less likely to admit to a procedural error than a third party.

Answer: If you have issues after surgery, it is best to follow up with your doctor. Sometime they are referred to as "J" hairs.
