Hi Dr Rassman,
I had two transplant done. One in aug2008 and another one in January 2010. Total about 5000 grafts altogether. Sometimes after showering I see 2 to 3 hairs in the towel with a bulb. the hair that falls out is also thick. Do you think I am loosing a root? or its normal hair cycle. Please advice. I am not sure if the hair that is lost will grow back .
thanks
Everyone goes through normal hair cycling, meaning every hair will fall out and then after a few months in the telogen phase, it will regrow. I can not comment on any particular hair loss that you are reporting, because I don’t know exactly what you’re seeing. Both transplants would’ve taken hold by now, so those 2-3 hairs on the towel are likely nothing to worry about. You should go back to your surgeon for his/her confirmation of that. Hopefully, the transplanted area will hold its overall fullness and that will be the best indicator of the permanent nature of those hairs.
