Shedding Transplanted Hair Post Op


Recommended Posts

  • Senior Member

I’m just over two weeks from my procedure and my hair is starting to look really thin in some areas of my recipient area, while in others particularly my temple areas the transplanted hair looks strong.

Just wondering is it normal for my transplanted hair to have shed this early? And why it has not shed evenly?

:confused:

Mine didn't shed evenly either. I'm nearly 8 weeks out and my temples were also the area where more hair remained. I shed some hairs after 2 weeks but the bulk shed between weeks 3 - 5. Everyone is different, I don't think it is a premarker for a good or bad result.

The follicles retreat into the telogen resting phase on an intermittent basis and why they shed at various time intervals...perfectly normal.
