Administrators Pat - Community Publisher Posted May 4, 2002 Administrators Share Posted May 4, 2002 Pd, In my personal patient experience and in corresponding with others I find your concern to be very common. Often when the crust and hairs shed, patients are often left wondering if the follicle was pulled out or dislodged. In a few cases, perhaps we do lose not just the hair but the actual follicle. But this is negligible. Just do not be too agreesive too early on in cleaning and combing your scalp and you will be fine. Congratulations again on your surgery with Dr. Limmer.

Senior Member arfy Posted May 5, 2002 Senior Member Share Posted May 5, 2002 I agree with Pat. It sounds like you are shedding. At this point in time everything is already "set" in your scalp. You are not affecting the follicle. Be gentle with your grafts anyway, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 What you are experiencing is absolutely normal. Once the scalp has healed there is not much you can do to effect the growth of the grafts. Even if some hairs come out several months after the surgery, the follicles are still safe and alive . Also, often patients start having some pimple like lesions appear 2-3 months after the surgery. This is a sign that some action is happening and there will be hair growth soon. Hang in there and remain patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Doctor Glenn Charles last statement says it all with hair transplantation. "Patience" I continue to tell myself that as I again await another surgery. I wish they grew in more quickly. I am now in the longer growth waiting because of the multiple surgeries. Oh to have a virgin scalp back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
