Senior Member SeanT1 Posted March 24, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Hi, hope you're all doing well. Apologies for making a new topic, it seems threads disappear rather quickly here. I'd just like to know if anyone else experiences shedding/hairs falling out in the transplanted area months after surgery? If so, please explain your experience. I'm six months post operation and hair is falling out from the area it was transplanted. We're talking 20-40 hairs per day. Also, one side is much thinner than the other, even after six months. Has anyone else also experienced this? Did it thicken up for them in the end? Really hoping to ease my conscious. I've attached images for reference.

Senior Member ITA Posted March 24, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 24, 2022 @SeanTomanCould you post some pics of the pre-surgery, the procedure and how your hair has grown up to 6 months? Also, if you want, can you tell us in which clinic the procedure was done? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member SeanT1 Posted March 25, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) No one? Even if the experience has been positive. Unsure if it's related but itching also occurs. Edited March 25, 2022 by SeanToman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member SeanT1 Posted March 30, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) -Bump- It's been a few days later and I'm still experiencing a solid 20 hairs in the sink each night. I understand that people lose 100 hairs a day, but surely the telogen stage shouldn't occur on hairs so small; they're only an inch or two long. Does anyone have any thoughts or past experience?

Senior Member AlexMeister21 Posted March 31, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 31, 2022 I’m not sure but after my operation, I’ve been having an area near my temples that itches from time to time and it’s pretty thin there. I’m four months post, so too early for me to tell how that will turn out. Dr. Laorwong - 1,837 grafts FUE + BHT (Jan. 31, 2023) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, still getting those strange itches myself at 7 months. -shrugs- We should hope for the best and assume it's stronger hair pushing through.

Regular Member Lightmare Posted April 1, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) The thing is telogen stage is more likely to happen in miniaturized hairs due to a fixed telogen length relative to a much shorter anagen length. So it’s natural that a larger fraction of the shorter, thinner native hairs will be in telogen. The thickness / caliber of the hairs matters more than the length. Are the sheds mostly thick and dark or thin? Was that side thinner pre op too? Edited April 1, 2022 by Lightmare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
