If the patient’s hair sheds after hair transplantation, will it again grow back?

If you had underwent to a hair transplantation and after surgery your hair starts shed then, don’t worried because shedding approximately 50-150 hairs a day is absolutely normal and fine. This stage of shedding hair represents the natural telogen cycle and it is seen in healthy scalps, which is secure with any infection or germs. It means the scalp is not affected by androgenic alopecia (a disease caused the male pattern hair loss). But you have to be aware of this situation and keep noticing the shedding amount of hair during styling and bathing. Keep this thing in mind that it is a regular hair follicle physiology and these lost hairs should grow back within 3-4 months according to your natural hair growth phase.

On the other hand, the person, who is suffering from hair loss, will observe an increased amount of shedding, and noticing more than 150 hairs on pillows, hands, and towels daily may signify that he needs to see a trusted hair restoration doctor.  And sadly, because of the alopecia development, these hairs may permanently drop and fall out and never grow back.

However, it is essential that a surgeon must use only those hair follicles for transplant that come from the safe donor area and should be protected to the hormones (dihydrotestosterone – DHT) because this hormone is responsible for androgenic alopecia. If a person scalp will immune from androgenic alopecia, these follicles will shed and cycle at normal rates and lost hair should always grow back.
