Regular Member ninedonealready Posted August 28, 2002 Regular Member Share Posted August 28, 2002 About 10 days after a transplant, it seems that the grafts crusts start coming off. Often there is hair with the crust. Is this okay? How does one know if a graft has come out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perry Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 To Ninedonealready, Great question. I wonder why no the doctor's on this website have not responded. Well??? When the crusts come off and there are hairs in them does this mean the grafts have fallen out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member arfy Posted November 29, 2002 Senior Member Share Posted November 29, 2002 Guys With all due respect, this is a very basic question that could easily be answered with a little bit of reading. Ninedonealready, your doctor should have discussed this with you already, I can't see any reason why you would not already know the answer to this. Yes, it is normal. Guys, there is a wealth of information on this website, and on the internet in general, if you will just make a little more effort. Also, your doctor should make sure you know the basics before you go into surgery. Please, do yourselves a favor and read up. Not trying to bust your chops, but this is a very basic question that has been answered many times already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panos Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 What do you mean yes it is normal? Do the hair come out with the graft or not? I've experienced the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Big It Up Posted February 19, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted February 19, 2003 the transplanted hair as your eye sees it, will almost always fall out. the hair folicle is in a dorment period of about 3 months or so, a new hair will then grow out of that folicle. There is nothing to worry about, it is all very normal. take your propecia, splash on your minoxidil and your good to go!!! this is what we do!! big it up Experience: 6 HT to date.......wish this forum was around in the 90's!

Senior Member arfy Posted February 19, 2003 Senior Member Share Posted February 19, 2003 Panos The hair shaft falling out is normal. Your actual hair itself is not alive. It's the "bulb" beneath the surface which you need to be concerned about, and that is what is actually being transplanted. If a graft comes out and you have some bleeding, or the graft looks like the size of a grain of rice, you may have trouble. However if it is just a "flake" of dead skin and a tiny hair shaft, that should be normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
