Hi there
I had a surgery with Dr. Madhu 6 months back ( my hairloss blog link can be found below) . The results have been very good so far and I do see new hairs sprouting.
However, since the last couple of weeks, ( as I entered the 6th month) , some of the grafts have suddenly started shedding. Everytime I oil/shampoo my hair and run my hand thru it, a bunch of strands are sticking to my palm ( 10-30 of them approx per day). Why are the grafts shedding at 6th month post op. ? Does anyone else have this experience?
My grafts had shed during the expected effluvium phase during the 1st and 2nd month post surgery. I thought 6 month is the time when they start to grow back and not shed! Interestingly, not all grafts had shed earlier- could it be that the ones that hung on are shedding now. I am not entirely convinced as some of the grafts shedding now are thin and small - so its got to be the newly sprouted ones.
I spoke to Dr. Vijeta - an assistant of Dr. Madhu, and she said there's nothing to be worried about. She said that is how my hair cycle would have been set up and the grafts that have dislodged now will grow back after 12-18 months.
But I'm still worried. Well, does anybody else have this kind of experience.Please share your thoughts. I would really appreciate it.
