14. Is it normal for the transplanted hair to fall out initially?

Yes. After the transplant, most grafts enter a “shedding” phase known as shock loss. It’s temporary and expected. Every expert hair transplant surgeon closely monitors the regrowth during this phase. Within a few weeks, follicles begin the active growth cycle, and by month four, new hair starts surfacing. The key is patience, and with Dr. Chandra guiding your recovery, you’ll notice visible, consistent growth soon enough.
