Regular Member TroyPolamalu79 Posted March 21, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted March 21, 2011 I guess I have hit a milestone as the tenth day has just past. I think everything is looking well but who knows. It looks like my transplanted area is all healed and it looks like 95% of the hair has not shed yet and is growing like business as usual. Since I had very little trauma is it possible my hair may not shed? 1) When does the transplanted hairs usually shed? 2) I have heard using Rogaine helps the transplants is that true? 3) How do you guys think my HT is looking? No matter what I look better than I did from my hack job 12 yrs ago.

Regular Member SteelCurtain43 Posted March 21, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted March 21, 2011 congratulations on your HT! On my first HT my hair shedded around the 3rd week, but my 2nd HT shedded around the 5th week. So I would say around the period of about 1 month post operation. from that picture Your HT looks good. show us more pictures if you don't mind and always stay positive at this stage of post op is one of the most difficult times. Easier said than done as I have experience this twice and its still mentally draining. wish you all the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member TroyPolamalu79 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 21, 2011 I have lived with a horrible hair transplant for 12 years so I was prepared for the worst. If something was going to go wrong I think it would have already happened so I am very at ease. Since I know shedding is normal I really do not mind at all it just a few months. I have all my pics here My Hair Loss Website and now will update monthly. Did your hair grow a month before it shed. My hairs are growing pretty rapidly. It would be cool if they just stayed in and I could shave my head and enjoy the hairline I haven't seen since I was 15!

Regular Member SteelCurtain43 Posted March 25, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted March 25, 2011 so sorry about your horrible hair transplant 12 years ago. well my hair grew rapidly too and then it shedded. all of my transplanted hair is gone. I guess this is normal and expected. I'm currently at 9 weeks post op. thanks for sharing!
