Regular Member moose45 Posted May 17, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hey guys, I had my HT about 13days ago and I have my scabs falling off now. But, in some of the scabs that fall off, I see hair attached to the scabs. Are these hair grafts from my HT that did not adhere to my scalp properly?? I am so worried..any advice on this will be great. Thanks in advance guys!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted May 17, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted May 17, 2011 moose45, Have no fear. The hairs you are seeing are just the existing hair shafts shedding from the grafts. This is perfectly normal. Those follicles will go into a resting phase for three to four months and then begin to regrow. It's all part of the process.

Regular Member moose45 Posted May 17, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 17, 2011 TakingThePlunge, Thank you for your quick response. Is it normal to see shedding as early as 13 days? And let's say this is considered as the grafts shedding already, how long before all my new grafts will all be completely shed (rough estimate)?

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 In most cases the shedding will occur in the first 4 weeks after the procedure. I suppose a delayed shedding is possible but not very likely. You are right on track. Try to not think about any hair growth for 3-4 months so youi do not go to crazy.
