Does the transplanted hair fall out?
After hair transplantation, our patients will suffer shock shedding, which is a typical part of hair loss. This situation is unrelated to the hair transplant operation or the patient's behavior after the transplant. There is no need to worry; in 90% of the patients, the newly transplanted hair falls out at intervals two weeks after the hair transplant.
Three months after hair transplantation, new hairs begin to grow in place of the shed hair, and most of the transplanted hair will come out from the sixth month. It takes one year for all of the transplanted hair to grow. This newly gained hair does not fall out because it consists of roots taken from the nape area, which is programmed against shedding.
How to care for hair after hair transplantation?
After the hair transplantation procedures are performed in our clinic, our physicians closely monitor our patients. Achieving the desired success requires our patients to be very careful in the post-hair transplant process. In this process, our patients should pay attention to the following:
- Three days after hair transplantation is very important. Our patients should rest well for three days, avoid strenuous activities, and not wash their hair.
- Dressings should be done under the control of a doctor.
- Three days after transplantation, the hair should be washed with shampoo and other products given by your doctor.
- Our patient should not interfere with the itching while protecting the transplanted area against impacts and the formation of crusting.
- Manually checking the transplanted area frequently in the first week may lead to infection, so our patient should not manually interfere with the hair follicles.
- After ten days, a light massage can be applied to the hair transplant area as recommended by your doctor. And after that, you can start the usual normal hair washing.
- Natural drying should be done for two weeks. The transplanted area should not be combed with a comb, and hair styling products should not be used.
