Senior Member JustJax Posted November 10, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted November 10, 2016 Do most people shed all or pretty much all their recipient hair post surgery? I was kinda expecting aroundabe 15- 20% of it not to shed (not sure why, maybe something I read?) but I was just looking back at my pictures from just over a week ago (8 days to be exact) and I was a bit shocked at how much I've shed within a week. Reckon I probably have less than 5% of my transplanted hair left. Assuming that's within the norm, I guess it could be a good thing if it does all fall out, at least then it'll be easier to look 'normal' until the regrowth starts in a few months.

Senior Member NEWHAIRPLEASE Posted November 10, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted November 10, 2016 I lost it all. I went from a head full ( almost ) back to normal and maybe even worse for a few months. Normal. Newhairplease!!

Regular Member azdz Posted November 11, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted November 11, 2016 I thought it was all supposed to fall out after the transplant? Looks like the redness and inflamation is going down nicely. How noticeable does it look in person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JustJax Posted November 11, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 11, 2016 Cheers guys, comforting to hear you guys lost most of it too. I thought it was all supposed to fall out after the transplant? Looks like the redness and inflamation is going down nicely. How noticeable does it look in person? Yeah its supposed too, but I know some people didn't have complete shed. Redness is definitely going down, but its still noticable, think it could be another few weeks before it goes. I put some aloe vera gel on it occasionally, not sure if thats helped. I did also receive some sweet almond oil today (which along with aloe vera is something the clinic recommends) so will give that a try tomorrow.

Senior Member gillenator Posted November 11, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted November 11, 2016 Most of the graft hair comes off when the crusts are removed but that's a good sign that the grafts went dormant and in another 3-4 months, the regrowth will begin to emerge above the scalp line...and definitely worth waiting for...

Senior Member Louisjams Posted November 13, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted November 13, 2016 I always say that having the actual HT surgery itself is much easier than what you go through afterwards. Recovery is tough, and seeing all the transplanted hair fall out is pretty much part of the drill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member gillenator Posted November 15, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted November 15, 2016 Really?...you mean when the crusts came off, the graft hair remained in your scalp? Never hard of that before...got any pics?...would love to see your scalp. Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

Regular Member hamburger Posted November 16, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted November 16, 2016 Maybe I got you wrong? When I removed the crusts by day 8 I kept all the transplanted hair. Now at day 13 I lost some 10-20 hair.

Regular Member azdz Posted November 16, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted November 16, 2016 Thanks Jax. Sounds like everything is going fine. I hope you will share updates about the redness. I think we have similar skin and I am curious to see how fast this fades for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now at day 13 I lost some 10-20 hair. Wow, looks so good. I didn't think you have anything to worry about. People's hair reacts differently and you are clearly lucky to have not lost any hairs so far. You might even be one of the lucky ones that keeps the transplanted hair for a good few weeks. Enjoy it while you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted November 18, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted November 18, 2016 hamburger, Never in 4 decades have I ever seen such an astounding result where such an extremely high percent of the graft hair remained after the crusts were removed. This is definitely the exception and not the rule. And my word, your scalp especially the recipient area looks very clean. Please keep us in the loop as to how long the graft hair remains. Losing 10-20 hairs is such a small percent to the overall number of grafts that were done. Very nice photo...thanks for providing it to us to view and wish you the very best as your procedure matures!....

Senior Member gillenator Posted November 22, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted November 22, 2016 Probably will, but remember, new growth will follow and when it's fully matured, you will look awesome!...:cool: Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.
