PATIENTS ASK
How long does the donor area take to recover after FUE?



Surface healing progresses during the first days and weeks, but timing varies. Small scabs and tenderness can occur after FUE. Early photos are not a final assessment of donor appearance. Persistent patchiness or worsening symptoms should be reviewed by the surgical team.

PATIENTS ASK
What is normal during the first 10 days after a hair transplant?

Mild swelling, scabbing, tightness, and discomfort can occur during early healing. Follow your surgeon's washing instructions and do not pick the scabs. Recovery varies. Increasing pain, pus, fever, or worsening redness should be reported promptly to the medical team.

PATIENTS ASK
Does shedding mean the transplanted grafts are falling out?

Usually no. Visible hair shafts can shed in the first weeks while the follicles remain beneath the skin. This can be part of the normal cycle after transplantation. Shedding alone does not show whether grafts have been lost.

PATIENTS ASK
What is shock loss after a hair transplant?

Shock loss is shedding of existing hair near the treated or donor area. It is often temporary, not necessarily a sign of failure. Ask your medical team about persistent patchy loss or other concerning symptoms.
