Regular Member rxguy26 Posted August 8, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hey guys, I had an FUT done almost 2 weeks ago to lower the hairline and add some density. I had 2000 grafts. I heard that the transplanted hairs will start falling off within a month. Is this true for a majority of patients? I am 26 years old. If so, is there any way to keep the transplanted hairs from shedding? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member NEWHAIRPLEASE Posted August 8, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted August 8, 2011 Yes this is true for probably 99% of all patients..there is nothing you can do to keep them from shedding, but dont worry about it, its normaland they WILL grow back!

Senior Member ziggy00 Posted August 8, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted August 8, 2011 You could maybe keep your hair on your head by pouring glue on your scalp. But in all seriousness, it's expected and normal for your hair to shed at first. Like Newhairplease said, don't worry about it, they'll grow back.

Regular Member GreaseDJ Posted August 9, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) I had ~2000 grafts to the frontal third 13 days ago and have shed about 75% of the hairs already. They held on and looked like they were growing until about day 10 then slowly but surely started falling out. Totally natural and happens to nearly everyone almost without exception. If someone ever came up with a way to make transplanted hairs not shed and the grafts not go into "resting" state, that would be a major breakthrough. Unfortunately no one has figured that out yet :-( Edited August 10, 2011 by GreaseDJ My Hair Loss Web Site - 2,508 FUs + ACell Matristem with Dr. Jerry E.

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I have had patients that called me 3 weeks after the procedure and told me all the scabs had fallen off and the transplanted hairs looked twice as long as they did after the surgery. I warned them that there was a normal delay and that they would probably still shed. Sure enough they call me a week later and said I was right and they all fell out. No shedding or shock is extremely rare. Dr. Glenn Charles is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
