    Default Is It Normal To Experience Hair Loss After a Hair Transplant?

    Answered by Robert Bernstein, MD

    I recently had a hair transplant with a very reputable doctor. I am about 3 months into the process post op and have noticed some hair loss in the frontal area. Surgery was easy, recovery excellent, but loss of frontal area is noticeable, in spite of continued use of both Propecia and 5% Minoxidil. The doctor did seem surprised, but said both grafts and original permanent hair should grow back. Should I be concerned? And, what else can I do? - Michael

    Yes, "shock loss" is common in upto 6-8 weeks and then the hair normally grows back. I was lucky, I never had any shock loss in either of my transplants.
