Post Hair Transplant Concerns

After my hair transplant I got a minor swelling. But my doc had told that I will lose all the hair after 2-3 weeks and then after 2 months start
getting permanent hair. But even after 1 month not all transplanted hair have fallen out. In fact they have started growing will this cause any problem that I may loose the transplanted hair.

Some times a hair transplant patient will get some swelling within a day or two after surgery. Most hair transplant surgeons give the patient medication to inhibit swelling and suggest using an ice pack on the forehead to prevent any possible swelling. Fortunately with today’s much more refined and minimally invasive hair transplantation techniques post operative swelling is much less common.

It is normal for your transplanted hairs to shed in the first few weeks after surgery. The transplanted hair follicle remains and typically will resume growing new hair three to four months after surgery. If you’re transplanted hair continues to grow that is completely fine.

Best wishes for growing a bumper crop of new hair in a few more months.
