Losing Hair Grafts After Transplant

Hi, Dr. Rassman, I hope that this email finds you well. I had my surgery in June and have lost about 9 grafts (4 in the last 3 weeks or so). I didn’t lose this many last time. Should I be at all concerned?

Nice to hear from you. I would doubt that you lost any hair grafts. After 5-10 days, once the scab is off, most of the grafts actually can not come out even if pulled on. What you may have lost was the remnant of the graft and the hair shaft. The growth center will remain and will grow its hair in 4-5 months. If you are at all concerned, call my office at 800-NEW-HAIR and make an appointment to come in. I will be happy to take a look at your early results.
