Major Shedding 7 Months After My Hair Transplant

Hello,

I had a transplant of over 3,000 follicles about 9 months ago. I have seen growth but it is still thin and not what I have expected. I have noticed major shedding about 7 months in with the hairs having white bulbs attached to the end. I am concerned that some may be transplanted hairs. What could be the cause of this? Should I be worried?

I do not know what is going on in your case, so I could just guess. Maybe you have increasing native (non-transplanted) hair loss. Maybe you have other medical problems. Maybe your hair transplant was not a success. Maybe you have diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA), which would produce failures to hair transplant surgery. Maybe you are not on Propecia. Maybe you stopped Propecia. ANYTHING is possible. And I would be worried too.

You should be asking your surgeon about the problem and he should be really worried for you. Please, contact your surgeon and discuss these issues with him!
