After 6 Weeks, The Transplanted Hairs Didn’t Fall Out But Also Didn’t Grow

Hi Dr. Rassman,
It has been exactly 6 weeks today post off, for a FEU of 2000graphs. Now I had experienced a some shock loss after my operation for a while, still have but has been minimized a little, but with that being said most of the hairs that were transplanted have no ‘shed’. Infact they are still in tract but the only problem is that they are not growing. I was told by my doctor that all the transplanted hair would fall off within the first month. Should I be worried? Does this mean the procedure is working slower on me?

Thanks

Your doctor advised you correctly — they will shed sooner or later. I have seen some hairs remain up to a year and the hair transplants grew around them. If you pull on those short hairs, they usually come right out with no traction on them, because they are not attached to a bulb or to the underlying tissue, and have no muscle attachment on them. The shock loss you are talking about is independent of the short hairs that remain.
