leoelm86 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Hello all, Please help me identify if I am shedding the grafts/ Follicles too early? See picture. This is after day 6 post FUE hair transplant. Saw this in the morning on the pillow. My scalp feels very itchy at the crown. I am concerned those are grafts that have been not implanted properly.

Senior Member NARMAK Posted June 8, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 8, 2022 Hopefully the above helps but just to also put this out there. It's usually the point most freak out when seeing hair shedding including myself. I'm almost 3 weeks fully post-op and noticed more hairfall than i would usually feel happens and sensitive thinking it's getting closer and closer to the "Ugly Duckling" phase which usually hits full force around Months 2 to 3. That said, when you are forewarned, you're also forearmed imo to brace for it and power through with a hat or similar. 1 Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!

leoelm86 Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 Thank you guys. I am still freaking out as im on Day 7 and each morning I wake up to see in my bedsheet and pillow many hairs attached to the crust. How are we to know its a dead tissue then a failed graft? almost all the crust that has fallen has one or two hairs attached to it with black ends. I feel at day 7 the hair follicales may not had time to embed and fix into the scalp. Shedding starting at day 5 may be to early?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless your grafts are now being 'surgically removed again' you have nothing to worry about. 👌 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
