Could Transplanted Hair Fall Out? — Follow-Up

I was wondering if you could expand on your entry “Could Transplanted Hair Fall Out Months After a Successful Procedure?”

Does all of the transplanted hair fall out or just some of it? How long after the HT have you seen this occur? From what you’ve seen does it happen in younger or older patients? Most importantly can you re-transplant new grafts into the area? Would the same thing happen again or could there have been a mistake made during procedure?

I am not sure about your question. The newly transplanted hair usually falls out in a month or so after the surgery and it comes back 2-5 months after in waves of hair growth. Once you’re past the 7th month, everything should be stable and your transplanted hair should be there for the rest of your life. If transplanted hair falls out, it may reflect hair that was not taken from the permanent zone and in that case it may reflect an error from the surgeon.
