Regular Member denonnn Posted December 23, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted December 23, 2012 Hi all, 11 days ago I had my 3rd hair transplant. However, my left temple looks strange now after 11 days. Seems that the transplanted grafts didn't grew at all after the operation. They remained as very small stubbles. What I see on post op pictures on this forum, is that with most people the grafts grow until the shedding. Is this normal ? Please see pic.

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted December 23, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 23, 2012 3rd transplant? 11 days post-op? You know the drill. Your left temple looks fine.

Regular Member denonnn Posted December 23, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 23, 2012 Really? Because all other times I had a transplant, the grafts were much longer when they shedded. The left side didn't grew since the operation..... normally after the HT it grews a little bit before they shed. I am a bit worried that there is something wrong.

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted December 24, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 24, 2012 Days after the transplant some grafts grow, some don't. Most will shed. It doesn't mean anything IMO.

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted December 24, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 24, 2012 denonnn, As Aaron has already stated. Nothing to worry about. Relax.

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I have never heard of any proven correlation of immediate post-op growth before shedding having any direct indication of successful hair growth. No sense in worrying now. Only time will tell. Dr. Glenn Charles is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
