Day 8 - Hair falling off with the scabs

[LeoElm96]

Hello All,

I am on Day 8 post hair transplant. I have had 2 surgeries done. My doctor seems to suggest he has implanted 2680 grafts (gave me an exact figure). So this was worked out by the doctor to be around 6700 - 7000 hairs. What really baffles me is that my experience during the First hair transplant is very different from the experience I am having now. Now I wake up each morning to see probably around 30 to 80 scabs but with 2 or 3 hairs with black ends attached to it. hen i had my first transplant I only noticed a few scabs at day 6 with no hairs and at day 15 I noticed shedding of hairs with no scabs or hairs with black ends. Can anyone on here please tell me what is happening and if this is normal and if I should be worried. See photos of my progress to date.

It sounds just like regular shedding of grafts. Post-op recovery from surgery can and does differ. Like you’re experiencing now, what seems to you as increased numbers of grafts shedding. You may have faster or slower growth this time. Do you have a picture of the shed grafts?

What does your doctor say about the grafts? A picture would help.
