Shock loss of previously transplanted hair?

Hi everyone, I'm brand new to this and would like to know if anyone has had the same experience as I have had, and if anyone has any advice. I decided a while ago to have my hairline lowered, I have a full head of hair and no balding, but my forehead was quite high, so I had transplants to create a new hairline.
I was very satisfied with the shape of the new hairline, it is a very natural looking widow's peak. However, it was still sparse after three transplants, and I was tired of using Toppik, so I went ahead and had another transplant, this is two and a half weeks ago. At first, it looked terrific, I was thrilled at the density and the look of it, especially when it was wet. But in the last few days, my former grafts, which I thought were shockproof, began to fall in clumps (with the scabs usually). I dread washing my hair because of the hair left in my hands when I shampoo. Now I look worse than before the transplant.
Doctor says it will grow back, the shock is due to grafting so close to the former grafts..
Anybody had similar experience?

They will grow back, don't worry

Thanks for reassuring me because I'm freaking out. This did not happen after my previous transplants, but then I guess it was because the grafts were further apart.

Previously transplanted hairs do not shock as easily as a weak unhealthy hair, but can indeed fall out post operatively due to shock. For the most part this will be a temporary situation. I have see this effect more commonly in the hairline area. Hang in there and try to remain positive.

Dear Dr. Glenn: Thanks, this encourages me a lot, as does Silver Surfer's response. It's just so strange that I never experienced shock loss in my previous HT. And it is indeed in the hairline area, which looks pretty bad these days.

And since I have to return in front of the camera in a couple of months, I'm nervous. No amount of Toppik can make it look natural so far, and trust me, I could write a book; OK, maybe not a book, but a pamphlet, or a video, on how to apply Toppik. I use three shades, and prior to my last HT, it was absolutely undetectable. Now, if I try to camouflage the sparseness, it looks like I have a ton of powder sitting on my scalp, not so hot, especially in daylight.

I hope I made the right decision in this last HT. I'm pretty sure I did.Time will tell. I wish I could fast forward to that time! :)

Thanks so much, I am grateful I joined this forum.
