Existing Hair Loss After Hair Transplant

Existing Hair Loss After Hair Transplant

after hair transplantation

Biological, genetic, and environmental factors can cause hair loss after a hair transplant. This situation is also called shock loss after a hair transplant. The issue is treatable, no worries. Temporary hair loss is common after you have undergone a hair transplant. This is a temporary side effect of hair restoration treatment. It is usually okay for transplanted hair to fall out two to eight weeks after surgery. This is due to shock. Hair usually looks thinner by the third month after the hair transplantation process. Once the shock loss after hair transplant subsides, the grafted follicles begin to produce hair normally. As your transplanted hair keeps growing, your new hair will appear healthier and thicker than before. Usually, a patient cannot experience baldness again after a hair transplant operation. This is due to the nature of the harvested follicles, which are unlikely to fall out since they are taken from the back of the head. It is also possible for the transplanted hair to thin over time. Follicles do have a life span and some patients might experience thinning of their transplanted hair.

How to Avoid Hair Loss

It is important that patients understand how far their hairline will recede and the overall extent of their balding before they commit to surgery. Proper timing of the surgery is crucial. You should take care of the transplanted follicles and your scalp.

Hair Loss Recovery

One of the questions that patients have in their minds is how the hair transplant recovery timeline works. The recovery time after a hair transplant surgery is very little. Most people are able to return to their normal daily life after 2 to 5 days after the operation. Within 2 to 3 weeks after the surgery, the transplanted hair will fall out, but you can start noticing new growth within a few months. Most people will see most new hair growth after 6 to 9 months. Healing from the operation can take between 6 to 12 months. But after the healing process is complete, the transplanted follicles grow hair that will fill out the bald patches on your scalp. Transplanted hair goes through a temporary “shock” period. In this period, the actual hair shaft is released. The hair now starts growing a new hair shaft and we will start seeing that in the next few months.

What to Do After Hair Transplant?

It is usually not recommended to use haphazard cosmetics or lotions after a hair transplant. That will do more harm than good. For this reason, nothing should be used other than vitamins, supplements, oil care and shampoos recommended by your surgery doctor. If you are wondering the best vitamins after hair transplant in order to speed the healing process, here you are. Vitamins A, E, C, D and B are the best vitamins for hair. The degree of effect of each of these vitamin groups on the hair is very variable. Especially B vitamins such as B12 and B7 biotin are very often recommended after hair transplant operations. In addition, zinc is recommended as a basic supplement for anyone who wants to lose or care for hair.
