Regular Member grub12 Posted February 22, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted February 22, 2010 after surgery.......do all hairs fallout and enter a resting phase or do some continue to grow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mmhce Posted February 22, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2010 ALL transplanted hair falls out, (because ALL hair follows the hair-growth cycle, and must shed in order for new hair to take its place)....it's just a matter of when. A few will continue to grow for months after the HT. That does not mean that it will continue growing for ever. Generally, most will fallout out within 4 weeks of your surgery. take care...

Regular Member Johnny99 Posted February 22, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted February 22, 2010 I was wondering the same thing. I'm into week three and they're slowly thinning out. My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Keene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Megatron Posted February 22, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2010 I'm on Day 10 and was wondering the same thing. There are a ton of threads on this topic if you use the search function. Basically, it's very rare that the transplanted hairs continue growing without falling out, going through a 2 month resting phase and then starting again with baby hair. It's going to be an interesting few months we've got ahead of us. My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Simmons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Petchski Posted February 22, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2010 Not all of them fall out, not in my case anyway...maybe about 15% stayed in and grew, but most will fall. -------------------------------------- My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Feller Dr Feller Jan '09 2000 grafts Dr Lorenzo Dec '15 2222 grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted February 23, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted February 23, 2010 Petchski is right on. I used to tell folks "every one will fall out at 1 month", now I have had a handful of patients who lost ?half, but by and large, most people lose 90% or more before regrowing.
