Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted February 12, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted February 12, 2023 At six weeks it’s way to early to know anything. Why do you think your grafts could have been damaged? The follicles will be shedding for the next month or two. All the best.

There was native hair where the grafts were placed that have not grown back it’s now a bald patch , I think the native hair is damaged not the new grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Stewie Posted February 28, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted February 28, 2023 funny enough I have had shock loss of transplanted hairs from my first HT from 12 months ago after having a second HT just recently in January, I didn't expect it, not all of the hairs, but enough to make it feel weird and noticeable with small gaps in between now. I was just doing some reading and its a very normal thing apparently and can shock your hair into regrowing itself just like the HT hair, and then it'll take around 3-4 months to come back, fingers crossed thats all it is mate 1 4 x HT - 10806 Scalp - 1800 Beard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahal Hair Transplant Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 @Teddy1927, I apologize if you stated this in another thread or later in the topic but without knowing the date of your procedure, it will be difficult to provide you with any real information on this. that said, the area you were concerned about is still a little pink which tells me that you may have had her transplant surgery a few weeks to a couple months ago. But when was the date of your procedure? I will tell you this though generally speaking. Shock loss typically occurs 6 to 12 weeks after your hair transplant and can take up to six months to a year to completely return. Given that you likely had hair transplanted in those areas of the hairline, I’m sure that you’re only within the first couple of months out from surgery. This is typically when patients look worse than before surgery which is often referred to as the doldrums or the ugly duckling phase. It can be discouraging even for those who know what to expect and produces doubt and even the most knowledgeable patients. lThe above his wife position selection is key and if you selected a reputable surgeon with a proven history of producing outstanding results consistently, then they should provide you with some comfort. But new growth from your hair transplant typically doesn’t even start until between 3 to 5 months and and he shocked hair can take as long to grow back as the results to grow in and mature.
