Do Transplanted Hairs Grow before Shedding?
Category: Hair Loss Blog , Hair Transplant Surgery , Post Operative ConcernsThis hair loss question was answered by Dr. Glenn Charles of Florida who is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians. His professional answer is below.
I’m 2 months post-op from my hair transplant. Most of the transplanted hair has fallen out, but some is still there. It is neither growing nor falling out. It is practically at the same length as it was initially. Is this normal?
The transplanted hair follicles often do grow a little bit before they fall out. However, sometimes the hair is stunted and has a longer delay before it either falls out or starts growing. In most cases these hairs will eventually go through the normal hair growth cycles. No sense in worrying at this point.
