Hair loss is part of the healing process. Such a situation, known as shock hair loss, usually occurs two to four weeks after the transplantation.
It is important to understand the difference between normal hair loss and the loss of transplanted hair grafts. Why does transplanted hair fall out? Will my hair grow back? etc. Let’s answer all the questions you wonder together.
Hair has a growth cycle divided into 3 phases: growth, transition and resting. The resting phase is when the roots shed their hair. Hair can enter the resting phase after the trauma of surgery.
Hair loss occurs in 3 ways after hair transplantation.
After hair transplantation, the transplanted hair remains in the transplanted area for 1-2 weeks. During this period, the follicles will enter the resting phase and then the hair will start to fall out. This shock shedding starts 10 days after transplantation and continues until the 12th week. This is a normal situation in the hair transplantation process.
After hair transplantation, the hair loss of untransplanted hair is the thin hair remaining between the newly transplanted hair. As with the transplanted hair, your natural hair may fall out after hair transplantation by passing into the resting phase.
This shock hair loss in untransplanted hair may manifest itself 2 weeks or months after the operation. This is a rare condition and hair loss is expected to regrow in the future.
This condition, also known as donor hair discharge, is one of the rare side effects of hair transplantation. Donor hair loss is usually caused by swelling after hair transplantation.
inflammation, etc. occurs in case of complications.
Shock hair loss is caused by telogen effluvium. Telogen effluvium is a hair loss condition caused by physical and emotional stress. It is a temporary condition. In case of hair loss due to telogen effluvium, hair regrowth takes several months.
So, does my transplanted hair always fall out? Although hair loss occurs in the majority of people who have hair transplantation, this condition is not seen in everyone.
In most patients who undergo transplantation, the first growth occurs 3 months after the onset of hair loss after hair transplantation. A longer period of time is needed to see the full effects. At least 6 months should pass after hair transplantation to see the full results. You can see the full results of hair transplantation in a period of 12-18 months.
