Dear doctors, I underwent an eyebrow transplant approximately 3-4 weeks ago, and I've noticed that my eyebrow hair is falling out. The density seems to have decreased, and I'm uncertain if this is a normal part of the healing process. I would appreciate your professional opinion on my current condition. Thank you for your attention.
We always advise our patients to conduct thorough research on hair transplants, whether for the scalp or face, before undergoing the procedure. This is because the hair transplant process and subsequent hair growth can be complex, but being well-informed can help you understand what to expect. Following hair transplantation, there is a phase of hair shedding, after which the hair cycles through the growth phase. The duration of this cycle varies for each individual. We anticipate seeing the full results of hair transplantation between 6 months to 1 year after the procedure. However, it's important to note that there are other factors that can cause hair to fall out after transplantation, such as shock hair loss and failed graft survival. Determining the exact cause will depend on whether or not the hair begins to grow. While shock loss and failed graft survival are more common among inexperienced hair surgeons, normal shedding is typically the main cause.
It can take up to 6 months to a year for hair regrowth and the final stage of hair growth after a hair transplantation. I recommend discussing your concerns with the surgeon who performed your procedure to get their professional opinion. It is normal for hair to shed during this process, as new growth will replace it. Prioritize communicating your questions and concerns with your surgeon, as they are best equipped to address them. Best regards
Shedding of transplanted hairs is common around the 2-3 week mark, but new hair growth from the transplanted follicles can be expected at around 3 months. Full results will be visible after a year.
Hair transplants, whether for the scalp, beard, or eyebrows, have a hair growth cycle, and results are usually seen within 8-12 months.
