Sir, I have done my hair transplant before 1.5 months and today, for 1 hour, I wore hair wig to attend family function I am worried? Please reply me Sir
Hi @muhammedfaiyaz2460, Wearing a wig this long after hair transplant surgery should not affect your results. If you are worried about the results of your transplant, you should follow up with your surgeon who knows details of how your surgery was performed, and can examine your scalp for any issues. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Dear Doctor, I thank you because your videos and your explanations represent what every doctor shoud do with his patients. The passion for your work is something very honorable. I have two questions: i had a hair transplant 76 days ago and on the forehead some tiny hair are now visible in same zones, but there are also lots of zones on the forehead where i don't see hair. According to your valuable experience, is possible that some hair will start to grow in the next days? And one last question: after how many months after the transplant it becomes impossible that new hair can emerge from the scalp? Thank you, the best Doctor :)
Hi @profsavino, Thank you for watching! The full results of a hair transplant may take about a year to be visible, and grafts that are not growing, or damaged grafts that didn't survive to grow hair should also be apparent by this time. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Dr. Prasad, Thanks for your help. What if some grafts never shed, or grow, even after 5 months? Would it be wise to pluck them out individually to perhaps give way to the underlying root?
Hi Ali Alam, If you had an FUE, grafted hair that is not growing may be just a hair shaft with a damaged or missing follicle, otherwise known as transection where the extraction process damages the root. You should not be plucking out hairs out as this can cause damage. I suggest you have this checked by your hair transplant surgeon as they know the details of your surgery, as well as your scalp. I hope this helps you.
Hi @kenthortillosa841, Both are normal. The bulb is usually dead skin, or keratin. In the case of hair transplant, if a follicle ever pops out after the first 48-72 hours after hair transplant surgery, then the graft didn't take to the scalp, and would not have grown hair. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi doctor Does little bit of redness (inflammation), which occured after i had applied oil (coconut/castor) damage transplanted hair roots. And i startwd applying oil 3 weeks after FUT surgery
Hi @aliwaseem8627, Applying oils to the scalp is not recommended as they don't help with hair loss treatment. I suggest you follow up with your transplant surgeon who can examine your scalp for any issues. I hope this helps you.
I have transplant 20days ago i can see hair on my hand while rubbing scalp with minoxidil.also the hair on my hand are without white root substance is this shedding and normal? Also i see less density then transplanted day
Hi @mikesai9834, Yes, shedding is normal after a hair transplant, as detailed in the video. Also detailed in the video is shock loss, which is shedding due to trauma to the scalp during surgery. You can refer to this more recent video about healing after hair transplant surgery - ua-cam.com/video/hHxByroGmjk/v-deo.html And these other videos about what to expect after hair transplant surgery: ua-cam.com/video/8VBL_tMg2qA/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/hBeBbCXPHFA/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Vgc7xKtvyxU/v-deo.html
I have a question about post-operative recovery, hair shedding and dieting. I had my transplant surgery about 6 weeks ago and am already in the shedding phase. I understand this is normal and I’m not concerned. However, I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and my GP wants me to go on a 12-week very low-calorie diet. I know that some people may develop hair loss called telogen effluvium (TE) during low-calorie diets. Usually, this hair grows back after the diet has ended. I am more concerned about permanently damaging the newly transplanted hair grafts. Is there a significant risk of this if I do a very low-calorie diet? I am taking finasteride and using minoxidil as well.
Hi @MarkHoelterhoff, While I would not recommend a low calorie diet while you are healing from a hair transplant, you do have another condition that does need immediate management. I suggest you have your transplant surgeon, and your GP coordinate your diet plan as both are more aware of your two conditions than I am. I hope this helps you.
Hi @desade7505, It's possible to not have scabs as people heal differently. Scars are usually just dead skin, and dried blood. You can follow up with your surgeon who knows details of your transplant surgery, and can examine your scalp if you are worried about your transplant. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I experienced hair loss after my 2nd PRP treatment, about 3 months after my second hair transplant. I don't know why, but it looked as if the hair loss occurred where the needle injections were made with the PRP. Small circular areas of hair loss about 7-8 millimeter in diameter. I never experienced this after my first hair transplant with all the 5 PRP treatments that followed. My doctor had never heard that PRP could cause hair loss, so he gathered that it was just a normal "shock loss" that happened to occure right after a that specific PRP treatment. This was in February. The hair still hasn't grown out yet. But I'll have to be patient.
Hi HasseBasseBingBong, It is possible to have shock loss that long after surgery. Assuming you're male, you do need finasteride after hair transplant surgery as transplants don't treat progressive hair loss at all. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/rIlI55F478w/v-deo.html
Hello doctor Prasad, thank you for the great video! I had a hairtransplant done early january this year and ive noticed a huge shedding of hair on my crown even though most of the grafts went into my front scalp. Ive been losing a lot of deadskin at the front which always has 4-5 hairs stuck to it, is this normal?? its been about 2.5 months so i dont know if its the shedding of hairs or my dead skin falling off just taking the hairs with it. What do you think? Is it normal for dead skin to take the hairs with it during this phase?
Hi @bawan45, Dead skin, or keratin often accompany shed hair, which also occurs in people who never had a hair transplant. If you are worried about your transplant results, you can see your transplant surgeon who knows details of your surgery, and can examine your scalp for any issues. I hope this helps you.
Hello Dr.Prasad, do you think Setipiprant will cause hair growth as good or better than Minoxidil/Finasteride in the phase 2 studies? Also, do you think Fevipiprant can be used for hair loss when it is released for COPD (if it is ever released)? It seems there needs to be many more medical options to help prevent androgentic alopecia. Thank you.
Hi OmegAisBETTER, It is too early to tell if Setipiprant is an effective treatment. However, both minoxidil and finasteride are limited in stimulating hair growth - hair growth from minoxidil is fine, and finasteride is primarily to slow hair thinning. You should also keep in mind that no treatment prevents androgenetic alopecia as by definition, pattern hair loss is hardwired in your genes, so hair loss treatment is about managing hair loss, not preventing it or curing it. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Greetings doctor, I had done my hair transplant one and half month ago and now my shedding has started. But the right side is shedding more than the left. And I can see like patches on the right one... Does this mean the transplant has failed or the root is still there and nothing to worry about?
Hi @mohitksh5441, Sorry to hear about your problem. It's best to ask your transplant surgeon who knows the details of how your hair transplant was performed, and can examine your scalp for any issues. I hope this helps you.
Hi Dr. Pasad, Its been 2 months since I undergone Fue. I'm not shedding at all. For my own references, I watched and surfed answers for this matter and to my surprise, others are already gaining hair over 2-3 months. I would very much appreciate for your time if you can help me out and address my concern. Thank you so much amd more power.
Hi Chancespineli, I hope you understand that I'm limited in helping you without seeing your scalp, or knowing details of your transplant surgery. However, your transplant surgeon knows the details of your surgery, knows your scalp, and can perform an examination on you so they can help with your concerns. If you would like an informed second opinion, you can contact our offices or websites to set up a formal consultation. I hope this helps you.
Hello doc. I had my hair transplant done 10 days ago but today i lost some hairs with rounded scabs and crusts. Are they grafts or normal hairs ? Will they grow back ? I scrated them after saline wash and now there is very clean area without any place for hair to come out. I am so anxious please reply me. Thanks doc
Hi Paramanand Balara, If the hairs have scabs and crusts, they are likely transplanted hair. You are not losing hair, it's just the hair strands shedding, so they will regrow as long as the grafted follicle is in place in the scalp. If you have concerns about your transplant, you should be following up with your surgeon who can examine your scalp, and knows details of your transplant surgery. I hope this helps you.
Hi Sir, Thank you Suggestions over here.. I had my Hair Transplantion 3 weeks ago and my transplanted hairs are falling.. Will I get my transplanted hairs on that area, where it fallen? Thank you
Hi Sanchan A R Gowda, It depends on how well the grafts are placed, and if placing grafts didn't damage native hair follicles. Without knowing how your transplant was done, I cannot say for certain, but hair shed from healthy follicles do grow back. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@amiyaprasad Sir, Till how many days hairs do shred after hair transplant? I had hair transplant and now it has been 3 months still hairs do fall around 20 to 30 daily.
@@AmiyaPrasadMDhello doctor big fan of you plz guide me it’s been now 13 days but there is no sign of shedding of hair should I touch my scalp transplanted area and wash it with baby shampoo to stay shedding or it will start automatically
Hi@@kashifzubair1403, As described in the video, and its title, the timing of shedding after a hair transplant can vary. As for washing your scalp, you should coordinate with your transplant surgeon about when it is safe for your case since they know details of your scalp condition, and how your transplant surgery was performed. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD so happy to se your response doctor when can I have my first prp after transplant and m a gym ray lifts heavy weights when can I start my routine without having any discomfort and in the gym should I wear a cap or without cap I can lift weight and should I wash scalp after every workout with hot or cold water plz reply doctor u r the best thanks
Hi Doc, Do the shedding happen in patches? My right side looks denser than the left after ten days. There is this one patch that looks like have been affected the most by this phase.
Hi Saurabh Vaidya, It is possible, depending on how your hair transplant was performed. I suggest you see your transplant surgeon about it since they know details of your transplant surgery. I hope this helps you.
Is it possible to start shedding after 2 weeks. Cause its been 13 days now and im shedding like crazy. The hairs im shedding also dont have thee roots attached ro them they are just lile half.... if that makes any sense.
Hi Ali Shakeri, Yes, it's definitely possible to start shedding two weeks after a transplant. Shed hair this far out from surgery will contain roots, as transplanted hair follicles are firmly in place 2-3 days after surgery. Native hair also continues its normal shedding cycle after a hair transplant. There also could be shock loss of native hairs shedding 2 weeks after a transplant due to the trauma of surgery, but these hairs also grow back as long as the surgery did not damage native follicles. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir on the 12th day of my transplant i massaged my transplanted area gently to remove the scabs after 20 mins of shampoo application. But i missed to use oil or any kind of moisturizer before applying shampoo. I don't know if i have damaged my grafts or not. Pls 🙏 tell me anything about this issue.
Hi Grafts are very strong by this time after surgery, so there is likely no damage at all to your grafts. My patients don't use moisturizer or oil before shampooing after a hair transplant. You can refer to these videos about the strength of hair grafts soon after transplant surgery: ua-cam.com/video/K-t6Eu1McJU/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/04zuFKFUBVY/v-deo.html
Hi Jamal Hameed, This is something that needs to be discussed with your transplant surgeon who knows details of your surgery, and can examine your scalp for any potential issues. I hope this helps you.
Hi ashish verma, Minoxidil can irritate the scalp skin, and shouldn't be used while still healing from a transplant. Finasteride is more important after a transplant to slow progressive hair thinning of native hair, and grafted hair still prone to thinning if you had an FUE done. You can refer to this video on treatments I recommend after a surgical hair transplant - ua-cam.com/video/rIlI55F478w/v-deo.html
Dr Prasad, Kind of you to comment on queries Need guidance from you on a topic, if you can help please I am nearing 5 months into transplant and wisps of thin hairs are visible now. But while applying topical minoxidil to it or just regular coconut oil for a light massage, the transplanted hair do fall off a little as remains on the fingers Is this normal at this age and hair are not strong yet and I need to wait for them to be much solid to the root? Please guide. Thank you
Hi @connorapple006, You need to ask your transplant surgeon if they transplanted hair grafts that are prone to thinning. When I performed hair transplants more often, I did FUT hair transplants where only hairs genetically resistant to hair thinning are used as grafts. Only your transplant surgeon can tell you if they implanted grafts that are now thinning. I hope this helps you.
Doctor Help Please ! without knowledge i , started applying 10 ml (5 % sol) after 10 days of my hair transplant for 12 days before my friend corrected me to use only 1 ml per day. what damage have i done to my grafts ? please comment !
Hi Kilo Papa, Minoxidil should affect your transplant, as long as it wasn't applied during the early healing stages right after surgery. I can't say there was damage done without examining your scalp, but your transplant surgeon can examine your scalp for you. I hope this helps you.
Hi Sean, While it is normal to have delayed shedding, I suggest you ask your surgeon to examine your scalp to see if your grafts are growing. I can't tell based on your description, but your surgeon who knows details of your surgery, and can examine your scalp can help you. I hope this helps you.
Doctor I had my ht done one year back in front area mid area and few hair in crown ,. But after one year my crown looks suddenly empty which happened during time period of one month , before that I had many hair but suddenly it started looking bald, what should I do , should I go for one more hair transplant ?
Hi Prasad Pund, If you're under 30, I generally don't recommend hair transplants, and more transplant surgeries don't mean more coverage as progressive hair thinning is not treated by transplant surgery alone. You can refer to these videos about why hair transplants are not recommended for men under 30, why treatment is still needed after a hair transplant, why more transplant surgeries don't necessarily mean more coverage, and how we can improve results after a hair transplant without further surgery: ua-cam.com/video/2GkCy-30hFg/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/rIlI55F478w/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/at-pzX0TEB4/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/A3huSHGYrFU/v-deo.html
Is it possible that one corner side of head shedding taking place and other corner side is not (or may be far slower than other side ) . Or is it some mistake of surgery?? It's day 16th
Hi Raghu, If you're concerned about your transplant surgery, I suggest you ask the surgeon who performed your transplant as they can examine your scalp, and know details of your surgery, and I haven't examined your scalp, and I don't know how your transplant was performed. I hope this helps you.
Hi Doctor, I have gone through the hair transplantation 3 months back. And i have not shedded any hair yet. And my transplanted hair has started to grow. And they are getting bigger. I am getting worried now. I don't know i am even going to shed or not looking at my current situation. 😅 Please tell me if it's normal?
Hi @uzaifali6862, Not having a heavy hair shed after a hair transplant is within normal range. The important thing is your grafted hairs are growing, and you are doing active management to treat progressive hair thinning after your hair transplant, as hair transplants don't treat progressive hair loss. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/rIlI55F478w/v-deo.html
Hi Richy Rich, If you are asking about shedding after a hair transplant, shedding from the viable hair follicles do grow back. Some damaged hair grafts that were still implanted may not grow hair. There is also something called collateral loss where nearby native hair follicles are damaged by the hair implanter, so they can be permanently lost. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/9IUjsrbVh9s/v-deo.html
Hello Doctor, I just wanted to know if there’s a possibility that I don’t shed at all? It’s my 3rd week since my Fue transplant and my transplated hair are growing and there’s little to no shedding so far. Will they continue to grow and shed all together at a certain period of time or will it continue to grow like normal hair? And also, I’ve been prescribed oral minoxidil and finasteride. (FinMin finasteride 5mg, minoxidyl cap at 2.5mg) pill according to my doctor, it’s a new pill which consists of the two. Is this safe? And is this much more effective than topical minoxidyl (5mg) + finasteride pills(5mg)?
Hi drake j, It is still within normal range to have little shedding after a hair transplant, which depends on where you are in your hair growth/shedding cycle, and how your transplant surgery was performed. Some people experience normal hair shedding (50-100 hairs a day) after a hair transplant. 5mg finasteride is a little much for male pattern hair loss, as that's the prescribed dosage for enlarged prostates, and my male pattern baldness patients I prescribe 1mg a day. I don't prescribe minoxidil at all to my patients because they can stop using it with our injection treatment featured in the video. You can refer to these videos about why treatment is still needed after a hair transplant, and why our patients can stop using minoxidil after TrichoStem Hair Regeneration: ua-cam.com/video/rIlI55F478w/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/T5iPdCfZ2Ng/v-deo.html
I've had my hair transplant performed 9 days ago and today i noticed a few little hairs falling so i guess i started the shedding phase, but is it too soon? Cause usually it takes a few weeks and it only took me 9 days :P Thanks!!
Hi Sebastián Contarino, It's not necessarily too early as normal hair shedding occurs daily. As long as the grafted follicles are in place, and native follicles were not injured during transplant surgery, they will regrow hair. I hope this clarifies things for you.
What are your thought on using cold pressed organic Castor oil 10days after a hair transplant ? I’ve heard of a case where he used castor oil everyday at night for 2months and he didn’t shed at all . Idk how true that is but curious if you’ve heard of this
Hi Jonathan B, Castor oil is not going to help with healing after a hair transplant, nor will it treat progressive hair loss. Hair shedding is normal, and the shed hair does grow back. You can refer to this video about why treatment is still needed after a hair transplant, such as finasteride, as hair transplants don't treat progressive hair loss at all - ua-cam.com/video/rIlI55F478w/v-deo.html
Hi AVINASH MADDULURI, Hair being transplanted too close to a native hair follicle can permanently damage the native follicle, causing more hair loss. This is called collateral loss, but it isn't discussed much by hair transplant surgeons. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/9IUjsrbVh9s/v-deo.html
Hi S Peter J, It is highly unlikely that grafts can be dislodged, because 3 days after surgery, it would take a surgical instrument to remove a hair graft. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi, sir hope you are doing well. Im from UK, I have Dhi hair transplant from Turkey, 5450 grafts It's 12th day of surgery, my scabs still on I do wash every day don't touch the scabs, still they not coming down, my skin is dry also, whatever the scab comes out little hairs comes out with also, I can see some big gaps also, I'm just worried weather hair transplant is failed or is it normal and if I see some big gaps what does that means and my scabs still on so hairs trying to come out but they can't, please advice me, I can share the picture also, thanks Please answer
Hi AA simba, Hair shedding is normal after a transplant, and shed hair will grow back as long as the grafted hair follicles are in place. Since I don't know details about your scalp, or know details about your hair transplant surgery, the best person to ask for more details about your personal case is your transplant surgeon. Your pictures alone cannot provide the details needed to answer your concerns, as they don't reveal how your transplant was done, or get up close to reveal the condition of your scalp. I hope this helps you.
Hi doctor, I feel that I've been cheated as I've not done hair transplant on the crown areas and also not feeling much difference in the frontal area where hair transplant was done.. Could I feel satisfaction over time.. It's just month after my hair transplant surgery, for your information.. Please clarify with the ways what to do then ahead.. I'm running 33 yrs and How long will it take for me to see the acceptable results??
Hi Udaya Shankar, It's still very early after your transplant surgery, so you can't see your full results yet. However, it's important to note that transplants don't treat progressive hair loss at all, so you do need additional treatment for progressive hair thinning. You can refer to these videos on why treatment is still needed after a hair transplant, and how to to improve hair transplant results: ua-cam.com/video/rIlI55F478w/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/A3huSHGYrFU/v-deo.html
Hello Dr. I had a hair transplant procedure 6 months ago, after the following few months I didn't experience hair shedding as I was expected it to happen. There was some shedding, but not that much. Everything seemed ok with hair growth, but starting from 5.5 months, I experience some hair fall out from the transplanted area. Can the delayed hair shedding happen after 5-6 months?
Hi Samir Hasanov, It is possible to have shedding 5-6 months after a transplant, and the hair will grow back. Delayed shedding is actually a good sign since it means the hair grafts have been in place for a considerable time and are growing hair. It's important to remember that hair transplant surgery does not treat progressive hair thinning at all, so treatment is still needed after a transplant for thinning hair. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/rIlI55F478w/v-deo.html
Hello doctor. My doctor advise me to use minoxidil after hair transplant for better blood circulation to transplanted hairBut I don’t want to use minoxidil. Is there any alternative to have good blood circulation to scalp
Hi Areb Faraz, You can look into the Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video, and perhaps PRP alone. Hair Regeneration is effective shortly after a transplant to help with healing of grafts, increasing graft survival, thickening and growth of native hair, healing of the donor area, and increased blood circulation in the scalp. Our Hair Regeneration patients can stop using minoxidil. Although I don't use PRP alone to treat hair loss, it can help in increasing blood circulation. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi sir nice explanation. Sir I am 28 years old and recently 25 days before I have done hair transplant in front head in calcutta about 2000 grafts . Now it's shedding phase. Approx 20-30 hair will fall out when I wash my hair. Is it normal and is there any problem if I will go in sun for sometimes for work and if there is sweating in my head?
Hi Vikash Gupta, It's normal for native and transplanted hair to shed, and it will grow back as long as the hair follicle is healthy. However, as I do not know the details of your transplant surgery, I'm unaware if there are any factors like shock loss, or collateral hair loss due transplanted hairs damaging nearby native hair follicles. You can review this video and discuss any issues you may have with your transplant surgeon - ua-cam.com/video/jzkZJbmMxhI/v-deo.html

hi doctor , its been 2 months of my hair transplant, only 40% aprrox of my hair shed, rest started to grow , i am worried whether new hair will come up because doc told me once you shed transplanted hair then new hair will grow, but shedding did not happen much
Hi vishal sachdeva, You need to be more patient as not all of transplanted and native hair may be in the shedding phase yet. It's still very early after your hair transplant, so you do need more time to see the final result, which may take about a year. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi MCo, All hair follicles will shed hair eventually, then regrow hair as that's their natural function. It's progressive hair thinning, delayed regrowth, and follicle miniaturization that are the problems with genetic pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@mco4972, It is possible for shock loss not to occur, but keep in mind that shock loss happens because of the trauma of hair transplant surgery, and transplant surgery is generally pretty traumatic on the scalp with thousands of small incisions made to implant grafts. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello Doctor hope you are doing good. I had my hairtransplant 25 days ago. On the 23rd day my doctor rubbed my head very very hard and aggressively ( without any shampoo or lubrication) to get me rid of scabs. As a result, I can say it was sort of force shadding and I lost my transplanted hairs. Can you tell me can I have lost hair grafts or they have been affected otherway? I am really confused please let me know Thanks..
Hi @alwayshappy152, After 25 days, grafts are so secure that the only ones you would have lost are the ones that didn't take to the scalp during surgery. Shed hair grows back as long as the grafted follicles are in place.

Hi doctor, I have few questions could you please help me here. It's been 3 months I have done the hair transplant. It is around 3083 grafts implanted. I have taken head bath on 8th day after HT, on my first headbath I saw some scabs coming out and through out 8 to 15th day I slowly removed scabs in cotton and saw scabs clearing with hair I know it is normal Post 15 days I started slowly rubbing the scalp and saw quite amount of hair falling on pillow there is no pain,no reddish or bleeding occured. Now my concern is it's been 3 months I don't see any new hair pooping out of scalp I still see gaps,baldness like before, so is this because I removed scabs in cotton and too much rubbing intial days ? And I lost all grafts? Or I have to wait and see . Please help
Hi Vinod K k, Hair grafts are so firmly in place 48-72 hours after a transplant that it would take surgical instrument to remove them, so you can scrub your scalp by now. Hair does shed naturally, and shedding can be part of the transplant known as shock loss, but the hair will grow back as long as the follicle remains. This is different from collateral loss where native hair follicles close to transplanted hair were damaged by the trauma of transplant surgery - this is why hair transplants shouldn't be done too close to native hair. If you have concerns, you should refer to the doctor who performed your surgery as they know your scalp, can examine your scalp, and know the details about your surgery. I hope this helps you.
Hi Danny JF, Shedding after a hair transplant is due to internal factors, not external, so shaving the area will not affect the shedding process. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi again, I'm currently on week 3 after the transplant and I am in the shedding stag.. i notice everytime i shower which is every night when I wash my hair all the small transplanted hairs at in my hand and bubbles (baby shampoo) say if I wash it twice one after another in the shower to get rid of my shedding hairs will this help? Kinda like forcing them out in a way speeding things up. Is this okay?
Hi Danny JF, You should just wash your hair once at a time, and let the hair shed when it's ready to shed, not force it. If you have concerns, you should follow up with your transplant surgeon who knows details of your surgery and scalp that I am not aware of. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD I wouldn't really say force it out just every time I wash it there lots in my hand so I think wash again to get more out id say there's 80% out now
Hi@@dannyjf9064, It has been awhile since your transplant, but I still advise that you do follow ups with your surgeon to get their opinion once they examine your scalp to monitor your progress. I good surgeon who is concerned about the success of your results will have you booked for follow up appointments after your transplant surgery. I hope this helps you.

Hi Meet A. Pabari, The hair grafts that have not shed may still grow. Not all hair sheds at the same time. If grafted hair shafts are still in place this long after a transplant, the grafts are still healthy. I suggest you see your transplant surgeon if you have any concerns as they know details about your transplant surgery, as well as are familiar with your scalp. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thnx for d rply doctor 🙏....felt really good 🙂.

And one more thing doc. Hair which havent shed are growing normally....wch is a good sigh ri8 ?
Hi ankit tiwari, This should have been explained by your transplant surgeon. I will have a new video soon about healing after hair transplants, but you can refer to this older video about transplant healing, as well as expectations after a transplant, and why treatment is still needed after a hair transplant: ua-cam.com/video/K-t6Eu1McJU/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/xfuF2Lqx7mk/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/rIlI55F478w/v-deo.html
Hi doctor I washed after 6th day of my transplantation 2 times a day and when ever I wash at least some 10 hair use to fall from transplanted area is there any problem?
Hi francis antony, Washing your scalp twice a day this soon after your hair transplant does seem unnecessarily aggressive, so you should reduce it, and follow your surgeon's aftercare advice. While what you are seeing is likely normal hair shedding, you should follow up with your surgeon who can examine your scalp, and knows details of your surgery if you have any concerns. I hope this helps you.
Hi Dardy Sing, Without knowing the details of your surgery, I can't tell you for sure. I suggest you follow up with your surgeon if you have any concerns. I hope this helps you.
Greetings Doctor, I had my transplant 20 days ago, the shedding phase was so fast after 10 days that on 20th day i have almost shedded my transplant hair by 80%.. That's very very quick.. Is that normal? Secondly, I suffer from Dermatitis, and on 12th day there were dermitis shaft(hard dry accumulated dead skin) on my scalp.. I applied mometasone cream to clear it.. Will it damage my grafts?
Hi Niraj Kothavade, While shedding is normal, there are other causes of shedding such as shock loss (shed hair grows back) from the trauma of the transplant that can happen soon after transplant surgery. Before applying anything to your scalp, I suggest you consult your transplant surgeon who knows details of your scalp, and the details of your transplant surgery. I hope this helps you.
Hi shubham2567, Hair shedding is normal in people who've had a hair transplant, as well as people who have not. Shed hair grows back, pattern hair loss happens when the shed hair grows back thinner, and there is a delay in regrowth. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/1B1hz-mTs38/v-deo.html
Hi k r, It's not necessarily bad as timing of hair shedding from a transplant can vary. As I'm not aware of the details of your friend's transplant, nor have I examined their scalp, you can tell your friend to follow up with their transplant surgeon who knows these details. I hope this helps them.
Sir i hv gone through hair translation exactly an year ago..but i m still shedding my hairs approx 20-25 hairs per day.even i hv not get full hair gowth after an year even m using minoxidil.wat shud i do to gain hair growth n how much more time it will take.
Hi ANKIT PALI, It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day. I don't have the details of your transplant surgery, so I can't really comment about the density and growth. It's important to note that a transplant does not treat progressive hair loss, so you should consider finasteride to slow further thinning and loss of your native hair. If you want to stimulate hair growth and thicken thinning hair, look into the Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Md.Fahad Jibran, I don’t administer PRP alone for hair loss because it has a limited effect on hair, usually just short-term hair growth. Also, the number of sessions needed does vary, and the longevity of results is unpredictable. TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration is a PRP combination treatment where PRP is the activator of the main ingredient extracellular matrix by ACell. TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration is a one-time treatment for most patients, and can last up to 5 years and beyond, depending on the aggressiveness of the hair loss pattern. You don't need repeat injections periodically, and many older TrichoStem™Hair Regeneration patients don’t use maintenance drugs like finasteride, but finasteride is a must for our younger male patients with very early and aggressive hair loss due to high DHT-sensitivity asTrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration is not a DHT-blocker. PRP injections for hair loss are needed indefinitely. TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration patients can stop using minoxidil completely, or be weaned off it to prevent a sudden hair shed. We do perform TrichoStem Hair Regeneration at the same time as the transplant to: 1) help the transplanted hair heal better, and get more grafts to survive 2) Thicken native hair around the transplanted hairs 3) Prevent or delay the need for future transplants by thickening thinning of native hair 4) Prevent visible hair plugs in the future when native hair thins around the transplanted hair. It is a unique service for a hair restoration doctor to do everything possible so you don't come back for another transplant. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Sir , i am on my 4 month mark , hair was growing nicely but since the last 2 weeks almost 30 percent hair shed for the second time , i dont know why , maybe its because of minoxidil . Do you think it will grow back?
Hi Nahian Farabi, Shedding can be due to minoxidil since minoxidil delays normal hair shedding, or it could be normal shedding. Shed hair does grow back, but native or transplanted hair can grow back thinner, or regrowth can be delayed, both due to pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi@@calvarymount9490, Shedding can be due to minoxidil since minoxidil delays normal hair shedding, or it could be normal shedding. Shed hair does grow back, but native or transplanted hair can grow back thinner, or regrowth can be delayed, both due to pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Alpha S, While shedding after a hair transplant is normal, and shed hair usually grows back, you should have your scalp examined by the doctor who performed your surgery as they know details of your transplant and scalp that I am unaware of. Empty patches in particular are something that you should ask your surgeon about as I don't have enough information about your surgery to answer that. I hope this helps you.
Hai doc I'm manu krishna I'm 21 yrs old I had a 6th grade baldness at this age nd I had undergone a 4000 graft surgery a week after the post op I was affected by Folliculitis will this kill my root now I have completed a month after my sugery I know it is my shedding period bt I cld see small bulb like structure shedding along with my hair some where attached to the hair nd some where not wld it be my root
Hi Manu krishna, You are far too young for a hair transplant, especially since progression of pattern hair loss in a man your age is very rapid. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/2GkCy-30hFg/v-deo.html
Hello sir my friend had a hair transplant 4.5 months ago but still his new transplanted baby hairs are falling. daily he is loosing 15 hairs .is it normal?
Hi k r, Hair shedding of transplanted, and native hairs are normal, and they do grow back. 50-100 hairs are normally shed every day. As long as the grafted hair follicles are healthy, they will grow hair again after shedding. Your friend should follow up with his transplant surgeon for concerns as the surgeon knows details of the transplant surgery, and can examine his scalp. I would ask the surgeon about the "baby" hairs if they are transplanted, or native hairs, as thinning hairs should not be used for transplant as they will also be lost due to pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
sir im 22 year old i have lost 35% of my hair and also front line hair and also hair thinning and grey hairs please suggest me what to do and any good treatment in banglore
Hi Sujay ray, Sorry to hear that. If you suffering from hair loss this early, you should be diagnosed for pattern hair loss, and get a prescription for a DHT-blocker like finasteride. You probably have very high DHT-sensitivity. I'm not familiar with doctors in India, but you can at least be diagnosed and get a prescription from a dermatologist. I hope this helps you.
Hi Sujay ray, Hair transplants are generally not recommended for someone as young as you because you will lose hair faster than it can be transplanted. Expectations of hair density in people as young as you are also higher, and cannot be achieved by even multiple hair transplants. I advise you do not get a hair transplant, but consider stabilizing your hair thinning, either with finasteride to slow it down, and Hair Regeneration to stop and reverse hair thinning so your hair becomes thicker, and stimulate growth of dormant hair follicles. I don’t administer PRP alone for hair loss because it has a limited effect on hair, usually just short-term hair growth. Also, the number of sessions needed does vary, and the longevity of results is unpredictable. Hair Regeneration is a PRP combination treatment where PRP is the activator of the main ingredient extracellular matrix by ACell. Hair Regeneration is a one-time treatment for most patients, and can last up to 5 years and beyond, depending on the aggressiveness of the hair loss pattern. You don't need repeat injections periodically, and many older Hair Regeneration patients don’t need maintenance drugs like finasteride, but finasteride can concurrently help younger male patients with very early and aggressive hair loss. PRP injections for hair loss are needed indefinitely.
Hello dr. This is my 5 th month after transplation. Now i feel heavy hair falling even transplanted hair also falling which is thicker and stronger and lengthy. Upto 3rd month i didn't feel shedding too much. But hair fall started after my hairs become stronger and lengthy. Why this happends?
Hi PHOENIX INVINCIBLE. Hair shedding is normal, and hair transplants can cause additional hair shedding from shock loss due to the trauma of transplant. Hair shedding can also increase due to stress, or as a temporary condition if you just started finasteride. I suggest you follow up with your transplant surgeon if you have any concerns, as they can examine your scalp for any issues. I hope this helps you.
Hi@@arundevarajan53, You can consult your transplant surgeon who can examine your scalp, and knows the details of your transplant surgery. I hope this helps you.
Hi A A, Shedding is normal at this time, but you should follow up with your transplant surgeon if you have any concerns as they know details of your transplant surgery. I hope this helps you.
Hi elias moreno, All healthy hair will eventually shed, and then grow back. Pattern hair loss is when shed hair grows back thinner, there is a delay in regrowth, and hair growth cycles become limited. Transplanted hair taken from the permanent zone are genetically resistant to hair thinning, but FUEs often take hairs from outside this zone, so those hairs can still be prone to thinning. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Jordan L, Shedding is normal, and is not hair loss since shed hair does grow back as long as the grafted hair follicles are still in place in the scalp. Genetic pattern hair loss is progressive hair thinning, not hair shedding. However, hair transplant surgery does not treat progressive hair loss, so treatment is still needed after a hair transplant. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/rIlI55F478w/v-deo.html
@@AmiyaPrasadMD But also it's only been 7 days & ive noticed 30% or more have fallen off, could this be a failed transplant, sorry again to ask another question im just worried.
Hi@@jordanl9497, It's unlikely failed. Again, shed hair grows back. If you are worried, you should see your surgeon who can examine your scalp, and knows details of your transplant surgery. I hope this helps you.
Hi Hariom Bahmani, Yes, it is normal to have shedding a week after your hair transplant, which can be due to shock loss of your native hair, shedding of your transplanted hair, or collateral loss if your surgeon transplanted hair too close to your native hair follicles while damaging them. You can consult your surgeon if you have any concerns as they know details of your transplant surgery and scalp that I am not aware of. I hope this helps you.
Hi, It is possible as normal, daily hair shedding is 50-100 hairs. Higher than normal hair shedding usually occurs after stopping minoxidil use. It's not clear if your shedding is due to a hair transplant since there are other possible factors. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD wow 😯 I’m shocked you replied !! The plastic surgeon replied to me saying you need to be patient . I needed reassurance thank you 🙏 the weather in the UK has just got warmer the past week so I think it is seasonal changes to the hair . I don’t use minoxidil. What are the benefits of minoxidil
Hi@@mikeythorley5029, Minoxidil delays hair shedding so you appear to have more hair on your head, but a sudden and severe shed often occurs when people stop using it. While minoxidil isn't the ideal hair loss treatment, treatment is still needed after a hair transplant since transplants don't treat progressive hair thinning at all. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/rIlI55F478w/v-deo.html
Hello sir , its been 2 months before my hair transplant is done , but now only my hairs are shedding , is it normal sir ? I am worried ? Pls reply sir. , Thank you
Hi Narendran, Yes, as explained in the video hair shedding is normal after a transplant. However, there are different causes of hair shedding after a hair transplant, and your surgeon or another experienced doctor would need to examine your scalp to determine the causes of hair shedding, as they are described in this this video - ua-cam.com/video/dm_XuWidqxE/v-deo.html
Hi Susantha Sanjeewa, It's normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, even without a transplant. I can't tell if the shedding is related to your transplant, but if you have concerns, you should follow up with your transplant surgeon who knows the details of your case, and how your transplant was performed. I hope this helps you.

I am 3 weeks FUE post op and I have an extremely itchy donor area. There are acnes there too. Any suggestion? Shall I blow them up? I already did for a few of them and itchiness reduces but I don't know if I am doing the right thing.
Hi Jacob Jonm0, I suggest you follow up with your surgeon as I'm not aware of the details of your surgery, or the condition of your scalp. I hope this helps you.
Hi Amruthesh Amrutha, We don't currently offer the treatment in India, but we do have many Indian patients coming to the US for treatment. Since it is a non-surgical treatment with little to no recovery time, and in many cases no additional treatment, you don't need an extended stay in the US. Many patients actually get back on the plane home the same day as treatment, but I don't recommend this for everyone as it is dependent on general health condition and age.
Hi vatsal joshi, It's normal for transplanted and native hair to shed, but without knowing details of your transplant, I cannot say if the way your transplant was performed caused hair follicle damage, or the survival rate of your grafts. I suggest you consult your transplant doctor if you have any concerns. I hope this helps you.
Hi doctor, I had a transplant 9 months ago 6500 grafts, I was a norwood 6. I'd say I have around 50 percent hair growth currently compared to others. How common is late growth? Would minoxidil help me at this stage?
Hi Luqman Hikmah, That is a lot of grafts, so graft survival is an important factor as your scalp blood supply can only support so many grafts for healing and growth. Without knowing the details of your transplant, other causes of lack of growth like damage to native hair is unclear. Minoxidil won't thicken your hair, or stop hair loss, but it appears to delay the hair shedding cycle, and extends the hair growth cycle so you appear to have more hair on your head. At what age did you have your transplant? This is important as men in their 20s have aggressive pattern hair loss, and it is impossible for men in their 20s with pattern hair loss to match the scalp coverage of their peers without hair loss by having hair transplant surgery. Finasteride is more important after hair transplant as it does slow progressive hair thinning. You can refer to these videos about why treatment is still needed after a hair transplant, how transplant results can be improved, and possible loss of native hair due to transplant surgery: ua-cam.com/video/rIlI55F478w/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/A3huSHGYrFU/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/9IUjsrbVh9s/v-deo.html
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank you doctor, I am 34 and most of my hair on the top had been lost already. Thank you for your detailed answer. Would you suggest I start finastiride and what strength would suffice. I am a bit apprehensive due to possible sid eeffects. Can I cut a pil in half for example.
Hi@@luqmanhikmah8830, I only prescribe Finasteride for male pattern hair loss at 1mg day. The chances of side effects from finasteride are pretty rare at about 2% of users having them. I've had patients who were on finasteride for 20 years who didn't suffer from side effects. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Danny JF, I generally don't recommend dermarollers as the rolling action unnecessarily stretches the microholes, and dermarolling can only lead to short-term, fine hair growth, and the hairs don't grow thick or long. If you have concerns about your transplant surgery healing, I suggest you follow up with your transplant surgeon who knows details of your scalp, surgery, and healing progress. I hope this helps you.
Hi Labh singh, It's within normal range, but if you want to confirm if it's shock loss or collateral loss, you need to follow up with your surgeon who knows the details of your surgery. Since I have not seen your scalp, or know details of your transplant, I can't provide you a detailed diagnosis. I hope this helps you.

Hi upankar Goswami, Transplanted hair does regrow as the grafted hair follicles are still in place. It's also important to note that in FUE surgery, some grafted hair follicles are still prone to hair thinning as they are not taken from the permanent zone that is genetically resistant to hair thinning. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Sir, I have done my hair transplant before 1.5 months and today, for 1 hour, I wore hair wig to attend family function
I am worried?
Please reply me Sir
Hi @muhammedfaiyaz2460,
Wearing a wig this long after hair transplant surgery should not affect your results. If you are worried about the results of your transplant, you should follow up with your surgeon who knows details of how your surgery was performed, and can examine your scalp for any issues. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Dear Doctor, I thank you because your videos and your explanations represent what every doctor shoud do with his patients. The passion for your work is something very honorable. I have two questions: i had a hair transplant 76 days ago and on the forehead some tiny hair are now visible in same zones, but there are also lots of zones on the forehead where i don't see hair. According to your valuable experience, is possible that some hair will start to grow in the next days? And one last question: after how many months after the transplant it becomes impossible that new hair can emerge from the scalp? Thank you, the best Doctor :)
Hi @profsavino,
Thank you for watching! The full results of a hair transplant may take about a year to be visible, and grafts that are not growing, or damaged grafts that didn't survive to grow hair should also be apparent by this time. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Good info Doc. Thanks!
You're welcome, Mr. Santos. I'm glad you found the video helpful!
Hi Dr. Prasad,
Thanks for your help. What if some grafts never shed, or grow, even after 5 months? Would it be wise to pluck them out individually to perhaps give way to the underlying root?
Hi Ali Alam,
If you had an FUE, grafted hair that is not growing may be just a hair shaft with a damaged or missing follicle, otherwise known as transection where the extraction process damages the root. You should not be plucking out hairs out as this can cause damage. I suggest you have this checked by your hair transplant surgeon as they know the details of your surgery, as well as your scalp. I hope this helps you.
Ali alam i am also facing this problem.what's your condition now..?
The hair is strong with this Dr. 😂
Thanks, polloloci21 :) Happy New Year!
Hello, is it normal for the hair that sheds has a bulb, without a bulb or either is normal?
Hi @kenthortillosa841,
Both are normal. The bulb is usually dead skin, or keratin. In the case of hair transplant, if a follicle ever pops out after the first 48-72 hours after hair transplant surgery, then the graft didn't take to the scalp, and would not have grown hair. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi doctor
Does little bit of redness (inflammation), which occured after i had applied oil (coconut/castor) damage transplanted hair roots.

Hi @aliwaseem8627,
Applying oils to the scalp is not recommended as they don't help with hair loss treatment. I suggest you follow up with your transplant surgeon who can examine your scalp for any issues. I hope this helps you.

Hi @mikesai9834,
Yes, shedding is normal after a hair transplant, as detailed in the video. Also detailed in the video is shock loss, which is shedding due to trauma to the scalp during surgery. You can refer to this more recent video about healing after hair transplant surgery - ua-cam.com/video/hHxByroGmjk/v-deo.html

I have a question about post-operative recovery, hair shedding and dieting. I had my transplant surgery about 6 weeks ago and am already in the shedding phase. I understand this is normal and I’m not concerned. However, I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and my GP wants me to go on a 12-week very low-calorie diet. I know that some people may develop hair loss called telogen effluvium (TE) during low-calorie diets. Usually, this hair grows back after the diet has ended. I am more concerned about permanently damaging the newly transplanted hair grafts. Is there a significant risk of this if I do a very low-calorie diet? I am taking finasteride and using minoxidil as well.
Hi @MarkHoelterhoff,
While I would not recommend a low calorie diet while you are healing from a hair transplant, you do have another condition that does need immediate management. I suggest you have your transplant surgeon, and your GP coordinate your diet plan as both are more aware of your two conditions than I am. I hope this helps you.
Week after HT left zero scabs in my head, is it normal?
Hi @desade7505,
It's possible to not have scabs as people heal differently. Scars are usually just dead skin, and dried blood. You can follow up with your surgeon who knows details of your transplant surgery, and can examine your scalp if you are worried about your transplant. I hope this clarifies things for you.
I experienced hair loss after my 2nd PRP treatment, about 3 months after my second hair transplant. I don't know why, but it looked as if the hair loss occurred where the needle injections were made with the PRP. Small circular areas of hair loss about 7-8 millimeter in diameter. I never experienced this after my first hair transplant with all the 5 PRP treatments that followed. My doctor had never heard that PRP could cause hair loss, so he gathered that it was just a normal "shock loss" that happened to occure right after a that specific PRP treatment. This was in February. The hair still hasn't grown out yet. But I'll have to be patient.
Hi HasseBasseBingBong,
It is possible to have shock loss that long after surgery. Assuming you're male, you do need finasteride after hair transplant surgery as transplants don't treat progressive hair loss at all. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/rIlI55F478w/v-deo.html
Hello doctor Prasad, thank you for the great video! I had a hairtransplant done early january this year and ive noticed a huge shedding of hair on my crown even though most of the grafts went into my front scalp. Ive been losing a lot of deadskin at the front which always has 4-5 hairs stuck to it, is this normal?? its been about 2.5 months so i dont know if its the shedding of hairs or my dead skin falling off just taking the hairs with it. What do you think? Is it normal for dead skin to take the hairs with it during this phase?
Hi @bawan45,
Dead skin, or keratin often accompany shed hair, which also occurs in people who never had a hair transplant. If you are worried about your transplant results, you can see your transplant surgeon who knows details of your surgery, and can examine your scalp for any issues. I hope this helps you.
Hello Dr.Prasad, do you think Setipiprant will cause hair growth as good or better than Minoxidil/Finasteride in the phase 2 studies? Also, do you think Fevipiprant can be used for hair loss when it is released for COPD (if it is ever released)? It seems there needs to be many more medical options to help prevent androgentic alopecia. Thank you.
Hi OmegAisBETTER,
It is too early to tell if Setipiprant is an effective treatment. However, both minoxidil and finasteride are limited in stimulating hair growth - hair growth from minoxidil is fine, and finasteride is primarily to slow hair thinning. You should also keep in mind that no treatment prevents androgenetic alopecia as by definition, pattern hair loss is hardwired in your genes, so hair loss treatment is about managing hair loss, not preventing it or curing it. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Greetings doctor,
I had done my hair transplant one and half month ago and now my shedding has started. But the right side is shedding more than the left. And I can see like patches on the right one... Does this mean the transplant has failed or the root is still there and nothing to worry about?

Hi Chancespineli,
I hope you understand that I'm limited in helping you without seeing your scalp, or knowing details of your transplant surgery.

If you would like an informed second opinion, you can contact our offices or websites to set up a formal consultation. I hope this helps you.
Hello doc.
I had my hair transplant done 10 days ago but today i lost some hairs with rounded scabs and crusts.
Are they grafts or normal hairs ?
Will they grow back ?
I scrated them after saline wash and now there is very clean area without any place for hair to come out.
I am so anxious please reply me.
Thanks doc
Hi Paramanand Balara,
If the hairs have scabs and crusts, they are likely transplanted hair. You are not losing hair, it's just the hair strands shedding, so they will regrow as long as the grafted follicle is in place in the scalp.
If you have concerns about your transplant, you should be following up with your surgeon who can examine your scalp, and knows details of your transplant surgery. I hope this helps you.

Is it possible to start shedding after 2 weeks. Cause its been 13 days now and im shedding like crazy. The hairs im shedding also dont have thee roots attached ro them they are just lile half.... if that makes any sense.
Hi Ali Shakeri,
Yes, it's definitely possible to start shedding two weeks after a transplant. Shed hair this far out from surgery will contain roots, as transplanted hair follicles are firmly in place 2-3 days after surgery. Native hair also continues its normal shedding cycle after a hair transplant. There also could be shock loss of native hairs shedding 2 weeks after a transplant due to the trauma of surgery, but these hairs also grow back as long as the surgery did not damage native follicles. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank you so much for the quick reply Doctor.

Grafts are very strong by this time after surgery, so there is likely no damage at all to your grafts. My patients don't use moisturizer or oil before shampooing after a hair transplant. You can refer to these videos about the strength of hair grafts soon after transplant surgery:

Minoxdil can cause redness and pain in transplanted area
Hi ashish verma,
Minoxidil can irritate the scalp skin, and shouldn't be used while still healing from a transplant. Finasteride is more important after a transplant to slow progressive hair thinning of native hair, and grafted hair still prone to thinning if you had an FUE done.
You can refer to this video on treatments I recommend after a surgical hair transplant -

Is this normal at this age and hair are not strong yet and I need to wait for them to be much solid to the root?
Please guide. Thank you
Hi @connorapple006,
You need to ask your transplant surgeon if they transplanted hair grafts that are prone to thinning. When I performed hair transplants more often, I did FUT hair transplants where only hairs genetically resistant to hair thinning are used as grafts. Only your transplant surgeon can tell you if they implanted grafts that are now thinning. I hope this helps you.
thank you@@AmiyaPrasadMD

Doctor Help Please ! without knowledge i , started applying 10 ml (5 % sol) after 10 days of my hair transplant for 12 days before my friend corrected me to use only 1 ml per day. what damage have i done to my grafts ? please comment !
Hi Kilo Papa,
Minoxidil should affect your transplant, as long as it wasn't applied during the early healing stages right after surgery. I can't say there was damage done without examining your scalp, but your transplant surgeon can examine your scalp for you. I hope this helps you.
How (un)usual is it for newly transplanted hairs to not have shed after two months?
I have a lot of transplanted hairs not shedding, nor growing..
Hi Sean,
While it is normal to have delayed shedding, I suggest you ask your surgeon to examine your scalp to see if your grafts are growing. I can't tell based on your description, but your surgeon who knows details of your surgery, and can examine your scalp can help you. I hope this helps you.
Doctor I had my ht done one year back in front area mid area and few hair in crown ,. But after one year my crown looks suddenly empty which happened during time period of one month , before that I had many hair but suddenly it started looking bald, what should I do , should I go for one more hair transplant ?
Hi Prasad Pund,
If you're under 30, I generally don't recommend hair transplants, and more transplant surgeries don't mean more coverage as progressive hair thinning is not treated by transplant surgery alone. You can refer to these videos about why hair transplants are not recommended for men under 30, why treatment is still needed after a hair transplant, why more transplant surgeries don't necessarily mean more coverage, and how we can improve results after a hair transplant without further surgery:

Hi Raghu,

Hi Doctor,
I have gone through the hair transplantation 3 months back. And i have not shedded any hair yet. And my transplanted hair has started to grow. And they are getting bigger. I am getting worried now.
I don't know i am even going to shed or not looking at my current situation. 😅
Please tell me if it's normal?
Hi @uzaifali6862,
Not having a heavy hair shed after a hair transplant is within normal range. The important thing is your grafted hairs are growing, and you are doing active management to treat progressive hair thinning after your hair transplant, as hair transplants don't treat progressive hair loss. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/rIlI55F478w/v-deo.html
Hello doctor, quick question, do all hairs that shed regrow after the shedding phase?
Thanks
Hi Richy Rich,
If you are asking about shedding after a hair transplant, shedding from the viable hair follicles do grow back. Some damaged hair grafts that were still implanted may not grow hair. There is also something called collateral loss where nearby native hair follicles are damaged by the hair implanter, so they can be permanently lost. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/9IUjsrbVh9s/v-deo.html
Hello Doctor, I just wanted to know if there’s a possibility that I don’t shed at all?
It’s my 3rd week since my Fue transplant and my transplated hair are growing and there’s little to no shedding so far.
Will they continue to grow and shed all together at a certain period of time or will it continue to grow like normal hair?
And also, I’ve been prescribed oral minoxidil and finasteride. (FinMin finasteride 5mg, minoxidyl cap at 2.5mg) pill according to my doctor, it’s a new pill which consists of the two. Is this safe?
And is this much more effective than topical minoxidyl (5mg) + finasteride pills(5mg)?
Hi drake j,
It is still within normal range to have little shedding after a hair transplant, which depends on where you are in your hair growth/shedding cycle, and how your transplant surgery was performed. Some people experience normal hair shedding (50-100 hairs a day) after a hair transplant.
5mg finasteride is a little much for male pattern hair loss, as that's the prescribed dosage for enlarged prostates, and my male pattern baldness patients I prescribe 1mg a day. I don't prescribe minoxidil at all to my patients because they can stop using it with our injection treatment featured in the video. You can refer to these videos about why treatment is still needed after a hair transplant, and why our patients can stop using minoxidil after TrichoStem Hair Regeneration:

I've had my hair transplant performed 9 days ago and today i noticed a few little hairs falling so i guess i started the shedding phase, but is it too soon? Cause usually it takes a few weeks and it only took me 9 days :P Thanks!!
Hi Sebastián Contarino,
It's not necessarily too early as normal hair shedding occurs daily. As long as the grafted follicles are in place, and native follicles were not injured during transplant surgery, they will regrow hair. I hope this clarifies things for you.
What are your thought on using cold pressed organic Castor oil 10days after a hair transplant ? I’ve heard of a case where he used castor oil everyday at night for 2months and he didn’t shed at all . Idk how true that is but curious if you’ve heard of this
Hi Jonathan B,
Castor oil is not going to help with healing after a hair transplant, nor will it treat progressive hair loss. Hair shedding is normal, and the shed hair does grow back.

Hello doctor,
If hair is transplanted in the area where my natural hair exists, does it damage the existing hair or will it grow in a slower rate ?
Hi AVINASH MADDULURI,
Hair being transplanted too close to a native hair follicle can permanently damage the native follicle, causing more hair loss. This is called collateral loss, but it isn't discussed much by hair transplant surgeons. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/9IUjsrbVh9s/v-deo.html
Hi Doc, If we hit my transplanted area on the computer table on 18th day after proceedure there is no bleeding. Would it cause the graft dislogment?
Hi S Peter J,
It is highly unlikely that grafts can be dislodged, because 3 days after surgery, it would take a surgical instrument to remove a hair graft. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Please answer
Hi AA simba,
Hair shedding is normal after a transplant, and shed hair will grow back as long as the grafted hair follicles are in place. Since I don't know details about your scalp, or know details about your hair transplant surgery, the best person to ask for more details about your personal case is your transplant surgeon. Your pictures alone cannot provide the details needed to answer your concerns, as they don't reveal how your transplant was done, or get up close to reveal the condition of your scalp. I hope this helps you.
Hi doctor, I feel that I've been cheated as I've not done hair transplant on the crown areas and also not feeling much difference in the frontal area where hair transplant was done..

I'm running 33 yrs and How long will it take for me to see the acceptable results??
Hi Udaya Shankar,
It's still very early after your transplant surgery, so you can't see your full results yet. However, it's important to note that transplants don't treat progressive hair loss at all, so you do need additional treatment for progressive hair thinning. You can refer to these videos on why treatment is still needed after a hair transplant, and how to to improve hair transplant results:

Hello Dr. I had a hair transplant procedure 6 months ago, after the following few months I didn't experience hair shedding as I was expected it to happen. There was some shedding, but not that much. Everything seemed ok with hair growth, but starting from 5.5 months, I experience some hair fall out from the transplanted area. Can the delayed hair shedding happen after 5-6 months?
Hi Samir Hasanov,
It is possible to have shedding 5-6 months after a transplant, and the hair will grow back. Delayed shedding is actually a good sign since it means the hair grafts have been in place for a considerable time and are growing hair.
It's important to remember that hair transplant surgery does not treat progressive hair thinning at all, so treatment is still needed after a transplant for thinning hair. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/rIlI55F478w/v-deo.html

Hello doctor. My doctor advise me to use minoxidil after hair transplant for better blood circulation to transplanted hairBut I don’t want to use minoxidil. Is there any alternative to have good blood circulation to scalp
Hi Areb Faraz,
You can look into the Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video, and perhaps PRP alone. Hair Regeneration is effective shortly after a transplant to help with healing of grafts, increasing graft survival, thickening and growth of native hair, healing of the donor area, and increased blood circulation in the scalp. Our Hair Regeneration patients can stop using minoxidil. Although I don't use PRP alone to treat hair loss, it can help in increasing blood circulation. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi sir nice explanation.
Sir I am 28 years old and recently 25 days before I have done hair transplant in front head in calcutta about 2000 grafts . Now it's shedding phase. Approx 20-30 hair will fall out when I wash my hair. Is it normal and is there any problem if I will go in sun for sometimes for work and if there is sweating in my head?
Hi Vikash Gupta,
It's normal for native and transplanted hair to shed, and it will grow back as long as the hair follicle is healthy. However, as I do not know the details of your transplant surgery, I'm unaware if there are any factors like shock loss, or collateral hair loss due transplanted hairs damaging nearby native hair follicles. You can review this video and discuss any issues you may have with your transplant surgeon - ua-cam.com/video/jzkZJbmMxhI/v-deo.html

hi doctor , its been 2 months of my hair transplant, only 40% aprrox of my hair shed, rest started to grow , i am worried whether new hair will come up because doc told me once you shed transplanted hair then new hair will grow, but shedding did not happen much
Hi vishal sachdeva,
You need to be more patient as not all of transplanted and native hair may be in the shedding phase yet. It's still very early after your hair transplant, so you do need more time to see the final result, which may take about a year. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Are there cases when transplanted did not shed/fall out after a second hair transplant ? If yes how often?
Hi MCo,
All hair follicles will shed hair eventually, then regrow hair as that's their natural function. It's progressive hair thinning, delayed regrowth, and follicle miniaturization that are the problems with genetic pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD I rephrase. Are there cases without telogen effluvium after a 2nd transplant?
Hi@@mco4972,
It is possible for shock loss not to occur, but keep in mind that shock loss happens because of the trauma of hair transplant surgery, and transplant surgery is generally pretty traumatic on the scalp with thousands of small incisions made to implant grafts. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hello Doctor hope you are doing good.
I had my hairtransplant 25 days ago. On the 23rd day my doctor rubbed my head very very hard and aggressively ( without any shampoo or lubrication) to get me rid of scabs.

Hi @alwayshappy152,
After 25 days, grafts are so secure that the only ones you would have lost are the ones that didn't take to the scalp during surgery. Shed hair grows back as long as the grafted follicles are in place. You can refer to these videos about the strength of hair grafts soon after transplant surgery:

Hi Aarohi Sharma,
Sorry to hear that, but since I didn't perform your transplant, and I have no details about how your surgery was performed, I can't address your concern. You should be following up with your transplant surgeon who knows the details of your surgery. I hope this helps you.
Hi doctor, I have few questions could you please help me here.
It's been 3 months I have done the hair transplant. It is around 3083 grafts implanted.
I have taken head bath on 8th day after HT, on my first headbath I saw some scabs coming out and through out 8 to 15th day I slowly removed scabs in cotton and saw scabs clearing with hair I know it is normal
Post 15 days I started slowly rubbing the scalp and saw quite amount of hair falling on pillow there is no pain,no reddish or bleeding occured.
Now my concern is it's been 3 months I don't see any new hair pooping out of scalp I still see gaps,baldness like before, so is this because I removed scabs in cotton and too much rubbing intial days ? And I lost all grafts?
Or I have to wait and see .
Please help
Hi Vinod K k,
Hair grafts are so firmly in place 48-72 hours after a transplant that it would take surgical instrument to remove them, so you can scrub your scalp by now. Hair does shed naturally, and shedding can be part of the transplant known as shock loss, but the hair will grow back as long as the follicle remains. This is different from collateral loss where native hair follicles close to transplanted hair were damaged by the trauma of transplant surgery - this is why hair transplants shouldn't be done too close to native hair. If you have concerns, you should refer to the doctor who performed your surgery as they know your scalp, can examine your scalp, and know the details about your surgery. I hope this helps you.
can I shave the transplanted area in the shedding process to get rid of it quicker?
Hi Danny JF,
Shedding after a hair transplant is due to internal factors, not external, so shaving the area will not affect the shedding process. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi Danny JF,
You should just wash your hair once at a time, and let the hair shed when it's ready to shed, not force it. If you have concerns, you should follow up with your transplant surgeon who knows details of your surgery and scalp that I am not aware of. I hope this helps you.

The hair grafts that have not shed may still grow. Not all hair sheds at the same time. If grafted hair shafts are still in place this long after a transplant, the grafts are still healthy. I suggest you see your transplant surgeon if you have any concerns as they know details about your transplant surgery, as well as are familiar with your scalp. I hope this helps you.

Hi francis antony,
Washing your scalp twice a day this soon after your hair transplant does seem unnecessarily aggressive, so you should reduce it, and follow your surgeon's aftercare advice. While what you are seeing is likely normal hair shedding, you should follow up with your surgeon who can examine your scalp, and knows details of your surgery if you have any concerns. I hope this helps you.

Hi ANKIT PALI,
It is normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day. I don't have the details of your transplant surgery, so I can't really comment about the density and growth. It's important to note that a transplant does not treat progressive hair loss, so you should consider finasteride to slow further thinning and loss of your native hair. If you want to stimulate hair growth and thicken thinning hair, look into the Hair Regeneration treatment featured in the video. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Doctor, Please make a video regarding PRP. Is it necessary to undergo PRP sessions after the hair transplant.
Hi Md.Fahad Jibran,
I don’t administer PRP alone for hair loss because it has a limited effect on hair, usually just short-term hair growth. Also, the number of sessions needed does vary, and the longevity of results is unpredictable. TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration is a PRP combination treatment where PRP is the activator of the main ingredient extracellular matrix by ACell. TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration is a one-time treatment for most patients, and can last up to 5 years and beyond, depending on the aggressiveness of the hair loss pattern. You don't need repeat injections periodically, and many older TrichoStem™Hair Regeneration patients don’t use maintenance drugs like finasteride, but finasteride is a must for our younger male patients with very early and aggressive hair loss due to high DHT-sensitivity asTrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration is not a DHT-blocker. PRP injections for hair loss are needed indefinitely. TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration patients can stop using minoxidil completely, or be weaned off it to prevent a sudden hair shed.
We do perform TrichoStem Hair Regeneration at the same time as the transplant to: 1) help the transplanted hair heal better, and get more grafts to survive 2) Thicken native hair around the transplanted hairs 3) Prevent or delay the need for future transplants by thickening thinning of native hair 4) Prevent visible hair plugs in the future when native hair thins around the transplanted hair. It is a unique service for a hair restoration doctor to do everything possible so you don't come back for another transplant. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi Sir , i am on my 4 month mark , hair was growing nicely but since the last 2 weeks almost 30 percent hair shed for the second time , i dont know why , maybe its because of minoxidil . Do you think it will grow back?
Hi Nahian Farabi,
Shedding can be due to minoxidil since minoxidil delays normal hair shedding, or it could be normal shedding. Shed hair does grow back, but native or transplanted hair can grow back thinner, or regrowth can be delayed, both due to pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.

While shedding after a hair transplant is normal, and shed hair usually grows back, you should have your scalp examined by the doctor who performed your surgery as they know details of your transplant and scalp that I am unaware of. Empty patches in particular are something that you should ask your surgeon about as I don't have enough information about your surgery to answer that. I hope this helps you.

Hi k r,
Hair shedding of transplanted, and native hairs are normal, and they do grow back. 50-100 hairs are normally shed every day. As long as the grafted hair follicles are healthy, they will grow hair again after shedding. Your friend should follow up with his transplant surgeon for concerns as the surgeon knows details of the transplant surgery, and can examine his scalp. I would ask the surgeon about the "baby" hairs if they are transplanted, or native hairs, as thinning hairs should not be used for transplant as they will also be lost due to pattern hair loss. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Hi Sujay ray,
Sorry to hear that. If you suffering from hair loss this early, you should be diagnosed for pattern hair loss, and get a prescription for a DHT-blocker like finasteride. You probably have very high DHT-sensitivity. I'm not familiar with doctors in India, but you can at least be diagnosed and get a prescription from a dermatologist. I hope this helps you.
+Amiya Prasad, M.D. sir can i go under hair transpalntation and prp ??
Hi
Sujay ray,
Hair transplants are generally not recommended for someone as young as you because you will lose hair faster than it can be transplanted. Expectations of hair density in people as young as you are also higher, and cannot be achieved by even multiple hair transplants. I advise you do not get a hair transplant, but consider stabilizing your hair thinning, either with finasteride to slow it down, and Hair Regeneration to stop and reverse hair thinning so your hair becomes thicker, and stimulate growth of dormant hair follicles.
I don’t administer PRP alone for hair loss because it has a limited effect on hair, usually just short-term hair growth.

Hi PHOENIX INVINCIBLE.
Hair shedding is normal, and hair transplants can cause additional hair shedding from shock loss due to the trauma of transplant. Hair shedding can also increase due to stress, or as a temporary condition if you just started finasteride. I suggest you follow up with your transplant surgeon if you have any concerns, as they can examine your scalp for any issues. I hope this helps you.

Hi could be possible that transplant hair never sheds or Is very unlikely that not to happen
???
Hi elias moreno,
All healthy hair will eventually shed, and then grow back. Pattern hair loss is when shed hair grows back thinner, there is a delay in regrowth, and hair growth cycles become limited. Transplanted hair taken from the permanent zone are genetically resistant to hair thinning, but FUEs often take hairs from outside this zone, so those hairs can still be prone to thinning. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Amiya Prasad, M.D. thank you 🙏🏾

9 days after your transplant surgery is within normal range. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi doctor, i had 1600 grafts at the front of my hairline one week ago but i can see ive lost hair already is this too soon or normal?
Hi Jordan L,
Shedding is normal, and is not hair loss since shed hair does grow back as long as the grafted hair follicles are still in place in the scalp. Genetic pattern hair loss is progressive hair thinning, not hair shedding. However, hair transplant surgery does not treat progressive hair loss, so treatment is still needed after a hair transplant. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/rIlI55F478w/v-deo.html
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank you friend 😊
@@AmiyaPrasadMD But also it's only been 7 days & ive noticed 30% or more have fallen off, could this be a failed transplant, sorry again to ask another question im just worried.
Hi@@jordanl9497,
It's unlikely failed. Again, shed hair grows back. If you are worried, you should see your surgeon who can examine your scalp, and knows details of your transplant surgery. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank you ❤️😊
Dr. Prasad Sir
I'm from india.my shedding started just after a week of my hair transplant.Is it normal or something to be concerned about.
Regards.
Hi Hariom Bahmani,
Yes, it is normal to have shedding a week after your hair transplant, which can be due to shock loss of your native hair, shedding of your transplanted hair, or collateral loss if your surgeon transplanted hair too close to your native hair follicles while damaging them. You can consult your surgeon if you have any concerns as they know details of your transplant surgery and scalp that I am not aware of. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thanks a lot for your suggestion, Dear Sir
You're welcome, @@hariombahmani660!
Can hair shed again after 5 months
Hi,
It is possible as normal, daily hair shedding is 50-100 hairs. Higher than normal hair shedding usually occurs after stopping minoxidil use. It's not clear if your shedding is due to a hair transplant since there are other possible factors. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD wow 😯 I’m shocked you replied !! The plastic surgeon replied to me saying you need to be patient . I needed reassurance thank you 🙏 the weather in the UK has just got warmer the past week so I think it is seasonal changes to the hair . I don’t use minoxidil. What are the benefits of minoxidil
Hi@@mikeythorley5029,
Minoxidil delays hair shedding so you appear to have more hair on your head, but a sudden and severe shed often occurs when people stop using it.
While minoxidil isn't the ideal hair loss treatment, treatment is still needed after a hair transplant since transplants don't treat progressive hair thinning at all. You can refer to this video about it - ua-cam.com/video/rIlI55F478w/v-deo.html
Hello sir , its been 2 months before my hair transplant is done , but now only my hairs are shedding , is it normal sir ? I am worried ? Pls reply sir. , Thank you
Hi Narendran,
Yes, as explained in the video hair shedding is normal after a transplant. However, there are different causes of hair shedding after a hair transplant, and your surgeon or another experienced doctor would need to examine your scalp to determine the causes of hair shedding, as they are described in this this video - ua-cam.com/video/dm_XuWidqxE/v-deo.html
I have transplanted now 6 month but yet shedding is it normal ? Why slow ?
Hi Susantha Sanjeewa,
It's normal to shed 50-100 hairs a day, even without a transplant. I can't tell if the shedding is related to your transplant, but if you have concerns, you should follow up with your transplant surgeon who knows the details of your case, and how your transplant was performed. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thanks doctor ,when transplanting was there some hairs they also fallen out .but now they are appear .specially after 10 days hair transplant was not appeared old hairs .what is the reson ?
I am 3 weeks FUE post op and I have an extremely itchy donor area. There are acnes there too. Any suggestion? Shall I blow them up? I already did for a few of them and itchiness reduces but I don't know if I am doing the right thing.
Hi Jacob Jonm0,
I suggest you follow up with your surgeon as I'm not aware of the details of your surgery, or the condition of your scalp. I hope this helps you.
Wr I can find ur clinic in India
Hi Amruthesh Amrutha,
We don't currently offer the treatment in India, but we do have many Indian patients coming to the US for treatment. Since it is a non-surgical treatment with little to no recovery time, and in many cases no additional treatment, you don't need an extended stay in the US. Many patients actually get back on the plane home the same day as treatment, but I don't recommend this for everyone as it is dependent on general health condition and age.
Hello sir ,my tranplted hairs are sheeding even after 3 motnhs of hair transplant is it normal plz tell
Hi vatsal joshi,
It's normal for transplanted and native hair to shed, but without knowing details of your transplant, I cannot say if the way your transplant was performed caused hair follicle damage, or the survival rate of your grafts. I suggest you consult your transplant doctor if you have any concerns. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you sir just want to know sheeding after 3 months is a cause of concern or it normal i can't reach doc as its too far
I’m so jealous. This guy has a hair helmet. Lol

Hi doctor, I had a transplant 9 months ago 6500 grafts, I was a norwood 6. I'd say I have around 50 percent hair growth currently compared to others. How common is late growth? Would minoxidil help me at this stage?
Hi Luqman Hikmah,
That is a lot of grafts, so graft survival is an important factor as your scalp blood supply can only support so many grafts for healing and growth. Without knowing the details of your transplant, other causes of lack of growth like damage to native hair is unclear. Minoxidil won't thicken your hair, or stop hair loss, but it appears to delay the hair shedding cycle, and extends the hair growth cycle so you appear to have more hair on your head. At what age did you have your transplant? This is important as men in their 20s have aggressive pattern hair loss, and it is impossible for men in their 20s with pattern hair loss to match the scalp coverage of their peers without hair loss by having hair transplant surgery. Finasteride is more important after hair transplant as it does slow progressive hair thinning. You can refer to these videos about why treatment is still needed after a hair transplant, how transplant results can be improved, and possible loss of native hair due to transplant surgery:

@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank you doctor, I am 34 and most of my hair on the top had been lost already. Thank you for your detailed answer. Would you suggest I start finastiride and what strength would suffice. I am a bit apprehensive due to possible sid eeffects. Can I cut a pil in half for example.
Hi@@luqmanhikmah8830,
I only prescribe Finasteride for male pattern hair loss at 1mg day. The chances of side effects from finasteride are pretty rare at about 2% of users having them. I've had patients who were on finasteride for 20 years who didn't suffer from side effects. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Hi doctor, can I use a derma roller on my transplanted area after 1 month from operation?
Hi Danny JF,
I generally don't recommend dermarollers as the rolling action unnecessarily stretches the microholes, and dermarolling can only lead to short-term, fine hair growth, and the hairs don't grow thick or long. If you have concerns about your transplant surgery healing, I suggest you follow up with your transplant surgeon who knows details of your scalp, surgery, and healing progress. I hope this helps you.
Sir my hair shedding start on 10 th day after fue transplant . Is this normal ?
Hi Labh singh,
It's within normal range, but if you want to confirm if it's shock loss or collateral loss, you need to follow up with your surgeon who knows the details of your surgery. Since I have not seen your scalp, or know details of your transplant, I can't provide you a detailed diagnosis. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank u so much sir

transplanted hair shed down not native hairs
My translated hair starts falling out after one year...
Will it be Regrow now ??
Hi upankar Goswami,
Transplanted hair does regrow as the grafted hair follicles are still in place. It's also important to note that in FUE surgery, some grafted hair follicles are still prone to hair thinning as they are not taken from the permanent zone that is genetically resistant to hair thinning. I hope this clarifies things for you.
