Regular Member Travis1 Posted February 17, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted February 17, 2012 Dear all, What happens when shedding of transplanted hairs happen? Are we back to square one? I noticed that a member has encountered shedding (Hair Restoration Journal -Day 31), however he has encountered positive results at the end of the year. Can I safely say that HT is 100% successful eventhough there is a visual appearance of shedding? Or is this the inherent risk involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dutch Posted February 17, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hello, shedding is a normal part of the whole process- nothing to be worried about. It usually occurs between weeks 2-6 or at least that's when I had most of the shedding. It's called 'the ugly duckling phase' for a reason! Every surgery has risks of course, a HT is a fairly simple operation in the hands of an experienced surgeon anyway. It would be successful and the shedding is not an indication of what it will look like a year later. http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=2329 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
