can transplanted hair fall

Hair transplants are a popular surgical procedure for hair loss. They involve transplanting hair follicles from one part of the scalp to another. While hair transplants can be very successful, there are also some risks associated with the procedure. One of the most common questions patients have is whether or not the transplanted hair can fall out.

**In short, the answer is yes, transplanted hair can fall out.** However, it is important to understand that this is a normal part of the hair transplant process and does not mean that the transplant has failed.

**There are two main reasons why transplanted hair may fall out:**

* **Shock loss:** This is a temporary shedding of hair that occurs in the first few weeks after a hair transplant. It is caused by the trauma of the surgery and is usually nothing to worry about. The transplanted hair will typically start to regrow within a few months.
* **Ongoing hair loss:** If you are predisposed to hair loss, you may continue to lose hair from the transplanted area, just as you would from the rest of your scalp. This is because the transplanted hair follicles are not immune to the hormones that cause hair loss.

**However, it is important to note that the vast majority of transplanted hair will survive and grow normally.** In fact, hair transplants are considered to be a permanent solution for hair loss.

**Here are some things you can do to reduce the risk of transplanted hair falling out:**

* **Choose a qualified and experienced surgeon.**
* **Follow the surgeon's post-operative care instructions carefully.**
* **Take medications to prevent hair loss, such as finasteride or minoxidil.**
* **Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise.**

**If you are concerned about transplanted hair falling out, be sure to talk to your doctor.** They can assess your individual situation and provide you with personalized advice.
