Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that involves moving hair follicles from one part of the scalp to another. It is a common treatment for male pattern hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia.

In most cases, transplanted hair is permanent. However, there are a few reasons why transplanted hair may fall out.

Shock loss: This is a temporary shedding of transplanted hair that occurs in the first few weeks after the procedure. It is caused by the trauma of the surgery and is normal. The transplanted hair will usually grow back within a few months.

Ongoing hair loss: If you are still losing hair from your non-transplanted areas, this hair loss may eventually affect your transplanted hair as well. This is because the underlying cause of your hair loss, such as male pattern baldness, is still present. If you are concerned about ongoing hair loss, you may want to talk to your doctor about treatment options.

Poor surgical technique: If the hair transplant was not performed correctly, the hair follicles may be damaged and may not take root properly. This can lead to hair loss in the transplanted area.

Infection: If the transplanted area becomes infected, this can also lead to hair loss. Infection is a rare complication of hair transplantation, but it is important to seek medical attention immediately if you think you may have an infection.

Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes and autoimmune diseases, can increase the risk of hair transplant failure. If you have a medical condition, it is important to talk to your doctor before getting a hair transplant.

Medications: Some medications, such as blood thinners and chemotherapy drugs, can also increase the risk of hair transplant failure. If you are taking any medications, it is important to talk to your doctor before getting a hair transplant.

If you are concerned about transplanted hair falling out, it is important to talk to your doctor. They can help you determine the cause of the hair loss and recommend treatment options.
