Is this a normal view?

[Chickennuggets95]

Day 38 rn, already shedded most of the transplanted hairs, was just curious if this is normal to not see where the grafts originally fell from?

Someone said you should still see the follicle under the flash but this seems ridiculous given how deep it’s inserted, a shed hair shouldn’t still be visible after a HT especially during early times, no?

Sorry no idea why the upload flipped the picture upside down 

also incase anyones wondering about the hair lengths it’s a mixture of transplanted and native at the temples

It looks normal for a little more than one month.

Chickennuggets95,

what you’re experiencing is completely normal. Transplant hair typically sheds between 4 to 6 weeks after surgery and yes, it’s normal not to see any holes or areas of the scale where the hair has shed from. Frankly, if you did see holes, then this would be known as pitting which means the follicles were packed too deeply during surgery.  So rest assured this is completely normal.

I hope this helps.

Normal to have dry skin? And pimples? This waiting phase is a nightmare, and how quickly does native shock loss return? As you can see near my edges I have abit of native shock loss

Looks fine.

 

I could see any follicles after the shed.  They all grew in though eventually.

Mentally this is the hardest part and believe you and everybody else that's gone through it, after the 4th or 5th months, that's when you should start seeing more hairs even little black heads poking through and eventually over the course of the 12 months grow and mature. 

General wisdom is that hy 12 months, most people should be near their maximum maturity but in a small number of cases, this could rise for people as having to wait up to 18 months.

I don't see anything alarming.
