Do all transplanted grafts shed after the surgery?
I know that theres a small chance that your grafts don’t shed at all, but thats not what I am talking about. I had my surgery done 2 months ago, most of my transplanted grafts shed until the 1 month mark, since then i have kept around 30-40% of the others and they grew like my other hair. Is this normal that not all shed, or should i expect them to also fall out in the next weeks?
It is common to lose all or some of the transplanted grafts between weeks 2-5. Many of the grafts that stick around will grow, similar to your native hair. I transplanted my cousin, and in just 4 months, he had a full head of hair. He told me that he never shed any grafts. Then I did another transplant on him to thicken up the previous transplant because his hair was “fine”. He didn’t shed grafts the second time either. I find that one in 30-50 patients, will not shed their grafts.
