Post-operation, strange shedding? HELP!

[Traveller]

Hello, I had a 5780-graft transplant done approximately 11 weeks ago and I've been noticing some strange shedding when I rub my head. I've seen a lot of these drop off; my gut tells me that they are shed hairs wrapped in sebum, but I'm concerned as to the damage they're causing to my transplant. Veterans, is this normal?

Example 1:


Example 2:


Same hair, under a magnifying glass

Wow, 5780 grafts. Was that done with FUT or FUE? Would love to see your donor site to see how things look after removing that much donor tissue. I do not think those are hair follicles you are shedding and likely will not effect your results.

I lost most hairs after my transplant, but many did not shed, I seen various types of hair shed post op, even some similar to your posts. They didn't affect the final outcome to my knowledge.

Man you must have had one hell of a mega-session.

Hello Traveller,

Could you please show us some photos on how it is going?
I am very interested in the results so far, since it was a huge HT.

All the best.

Hi traveller, I thinking of going to the clinic that did, how is your hair growth at this stage ?
