Shedding after 4 - 5 months of transplant. WHY?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

i had a hair transplant 5 months ago. using finasterid(1mg), biotin ve multivitamin. until 3,5 months my transplanted area was looking good and the growth had been not great but i was satisfied. However the transplanted hair began to fall out aggressively beginning at 4 months until now and on. I had a full blood test and everything is normal. The crown area lost its density. it's not the native hair that fall out. i know it's normal to 50-100 hairs fall per day but this is a real agressive shedding that's not typical i think.

I am very confused about the situation. Will they grow up again?

Have you changed shampoos or other hair products recently? That could be the culprit.

The transplanted hair is expected to fall out because of normal cyclical behavior.

 

Give it several months and see if those areas fill back in with a new growth cycle.

 

Also let your surgeon know what you have been experiencing so it can be documented in your chart.

Most people are in the ugly duckling phase at this point in the post op process, give it a full calendar year and you'll likely get over this awkward phase.

 

Good luck.

İ'im in 5 months of ht and hair falling goes on. my surgeon adviced to take finasterid 1.25 mg per day instead of 1 mg. says that in the beginning of summer DHT amount rises in body for males?? i don't think this is the solution. Some says that PRP can be a cure for this. looking for prp option.

did these hairs fall out at the beginning as well?

 

no it was all normal include the shock loss. after 3 months hair began to rise but in 4 months began to fall out. mostly they look too strong to fall out.
