Regular Member jleb Posted February 13, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted February 13, 2012 I'am 3 weeks post op today and really haven't noticed any shedding of the new grafts. Should I consider this a good sign, or is it to early to tell. I have been taking propecia for now for 5 + years, could this have reduced shedding of the new grafts?

Senior Member Dutch Posted February 13, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 13, 2012 I started shedding from week 2 & didn't stop for many weeks but only shedded maybe half of the grafts eventually, propecia may have had a hand in this. I suppose it is a good indication. I was an early grower with significant change by month 4. http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=2329 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jleb Posted February 13, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 13, 2012 Did the grafts that didn't shed continue to grow at a normal rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member mattj Posted February 13, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 13, 2012 jleb, I'm willing to bet that you come back very soon to tell us that you've finally started shedding. It could even be tomorrow. Sometimes the grafts hold on longer in some people. Of course I could be wrong. I am a patient and representative of Dr Rahal.

Senior Member blkblk Posted February 14, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 14, 2012 my hair was growing like a champion until about 1 month. Then I shed all of it and got quite bad shock loss. I am at 2 months now and I can feel and see the shockloss filling in. I think that the timing of these things are different for everyone - what seems to be largely consistent with the good doctors is a happy patient at the end.
