Hair fall after transplant – 3 weeks post-op.

Non shedding of transplanted hair
Aug 3, 2017

Sometimes we get lucky after hair transplant surgery and the grafts never fall out. This speeds up the time for a good cosmetic result. I more commonly see this in patients that have a PRP treatment on the day of surgery.
The platelets have numerous growth factors and healing factors that seem to increase the chance of grafted hair not falling out as they usually do after surgery.

Shedding hairs after FUT hair transplant? 6 months post-op.

shock loss

Postoperative shock loss can happen on occasion, but usually comes back after 3-4 months. High risk patients are females. We really don’t know why this happens more commonly in females, but it does. Patients who have higher density of hair and we are placing new hair very close to native hair are also higher risk to have shock loss.

I would like to confirm with you that oil application and scalp exercises are advisable for the FUE tr

FUE post op redness
Aug 3, 2017

Postoperative redness persists on occasion after transplant surgery. Sometimes it may even last a few months, although that is rare.
After 2 weeks I have no problem with patients applying topical solutions. At two weeks there really shouldn’t be any danger to the grafts.

Fue vs. Fut
Jul 31, 2017

Looks as though you will need a modest correction to the hairline. FUE is certainly easier to recover from than FUT. I have many patients that have had FUT and then a subsequent FUE procedure. They always say how much easier the recovery process was with FUE.
Curly hair can sometimes be difficult to extract via FUE. The hair can change direction below the skin and make it difficult to get the hair out intact. In my curly hair patients I explain there is a small…

You have nothing to worry about. That short period of exposure will not cause any harm. As a cosmetic surgeon I am always worried about having new incisions exposed to sunlight. It can make the skin where the incisions are light in color.
Your grafts are safe. You may get lucky and have most of them stay and continue growing. Most as you know fall out 2-4 weeks after surgery.

Is it okay to do MMA pro training 4 weeks after FUE?

Resuming high intensity workouts

I work in Southern California and we deal with a number of professional athletes. You are good to go after 14 days. The deep part of the hair follicle has anchored itself in place and won’t fall out. Although the small hairs you saw after the procedure may have fallen out, the “seed” so to speak has been planted and is safe.
Hit the gym and wait for your new hair to come in.

Dried blood. 7th-day post-op FUE+PRP 1000grafts, do I need to be rougher when washing my hair?

Post Procedure wash

Yes you can be a little more aggressive with your wash, but a good soaking with a warm wash cloth may help. Put a warm wash cloth on and let it sit for a few minutes. Then get in the shower and more more hot water on the grafts. Go through your normal routine you have been doing and see if that helps.
Many times you can go back to your surgeon and the staff will clean this for you. Try giving them a chance to help.
